The Parcells guys are absolutely obsessed with size.
They have a weird attraction to measureables, but it's not 40 time, bench #s, vertical, 3 cone drill, or any of that shit.
They are averse to spending top picks on WRs (the only 1st rounder Parcells ever spent on a WR was Terry Glenn, and the Pats have never done it).
They love guys who are big with long arms. It's Parcells' dumb ****ing Planet Theory. Jackson got drafted at 3 because of the Planet Theory. They looked at his size (rather than his explosiveness) and his arm length (rather than his production) and figured that they could make him a good 5 technique.
In some ways, you could argue that the Parcells guys don't draft workout warriors, they draft tape measure warriors.
