Amen Brother!
There are a whole lot less good athletic 6' 5" to 6' 6" and 300+ pound people in the world than 5' 9" to 6' 4" athletic people. Statistically they are harder to find. Draft big athletic people over small unless it is someone incredibly special.
Thomas and Kelly did not qualify in that 'someone incredibly' special in college.
