The more I see about him the more I love the pick, and it’s not just homerism.  If your offensive linemen are tough, smart, and love the game, they’ll usually be great.  He has all of those traits plus awesome athleticism.  Pretty sure offensive linemen have the highest overall Wonderlic scores on average.  Not that it means a ton, but at least they’re not stupid, and Ickey is about as smart an OT that’s been drafted in a while.  
 

The way he’s been described makes me think of a Norwell-type who is better, and plays tackle.  We lost the White Buffalo, but hopefully we just got our Black Bison

We're going to fight now 🤬

😂 I haven't been shy about it, Scot.  I know you have always loved the big ugliest, and I always appreciated them, I just never liked the idea of using our first rounder on them. I knew it was sometimes necessary, but especially in the infancy years of the huddle, I just preferred to either sign guys or find late round gems and use the first rounders for the big splash/playmaker/sexy picks.  I wanted production that was quantitative.  

But boy oh boy...  let me tell you how much my mind has changed since those days😂.  Seeing a generational talent get destroyed and effectively have his career/peak shortened definitely hastened my shifting perspective.  We needed a franchise tackle, and if that takes the first pick, you go get them...  and we did.  Couldn't be happier.

I never dreamed he would be available to pick. Out of all top 3 tackles, I assumed he would be gone no matter what by 6, so last night was a slam dunk. It’s going to be so fugging satisfying to not cringe every game at our line. We have a certified stud who has potential through the roof. We are going from the worst starting LT in the league to one of the best

      Has Stank become the 2C?

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/3533281/red-hot-stankoven-grows-into-1-st-year-as-hurricanes-2-nd-line-center RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — It had been a while since the Carolina Hurricanes had finished practice, with players coming and going from the locker room. Yet Logan Stankoven was still on the ice, leaving a crowd of reporters patiently waiting at his locker. Such is the dynamic for the 23-year-old as the Eastern Conference's top seed heads into Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs to face the Philadelphia Flyers. Stankoven has been rolling at nearly a point-per-game pace going back to mid-March, including scoring in every game of Carolina's first-round sweep of Ottawa. Beyond the immediacy of that spotlight, though, is the other piece of Stankoven's story: the Hurricanes are betting he can keep growing into the role as second-line center, coming after spending multiple seasons searching for an answer there.
