This year, once again, Windy City Gridiron is trying to look at the draft through a number of lenses. In this series, I am trying to examine what would happen if Ryan Pace could only take players from individual conferences. After covering the Non-P5 conferences, the Big Ten, and the ACC, it’s time to venture west and to explore the PAC-12. The rules are simple—I was not allowed to make trades, I had to use the default boards and settings for Fanspeak, and I could only select players from a single conference.
More than the prior conference-themed drafts, this draft sort of dictated to me which players I was going to pick at each spot.
