‘“I got tired of hearing Sean [McDermott] call our group the ‘smurfs,’ so we decided to get some larger ones,” Beane joked with the media immediately following the draft. “Honestly, that’s where it was on the board. We had some big guys, some slots, some guys that could play inside-out and it really just worked that way. Gabriel Davis was the highest player on our board. When he went even though it was a need, as well. He truly was the highest guy, not every guy was the highest guy, but he was. Hodgins was not the highest guy but he was equal with a position that we felt Hodgins had a better chance to make our roster.”’
