SMART, TOUGH, DEPENDABLE

If you look at what Schoen has done so far then IMO you see quite a lot of Parcells type prototyping but with a sprinkling of dog-pound exceptionalism on height (Wandale most obviously) or speed (Gray). There might be a trend that he has more willingness to make exceptions on weight at speed dependent positions (WR, CB).

Don't forget Flott was a weight exception

I didn't forget Mighty hence my last sentence. I think speed might trump bulk for Schoen at WR, CB looking at Flott, Hyatt as examples. Of course it might just be a case of limited information from two drafts, neither of which were necessarily perceived as deep on prototypical prospects in the mid rounds which could lead to more 'exceptions'.
