The Sabercats couldn't have taken Blewitt with their next pick because their next pick was Round 3 Pick 5 (21 overall).
Both teams reached for a player. One took a player they HAD to reach for, the other did not.
If you look at the 5 picks between the 2 Liberty picks, 3 were Outlaws. They're not replacing Bronko any time soon. Otters have Boss, best QB in the league (arguably with Orosz) and the Wraiths have the aforementioned Orosz. So, reaching for the QB was the foolish move there.
Blewitt would have been there with the Cats next pick, i really doubt any team that has a kicker in place already would take him, only way would be to move his position. Outlaws could have easily taken Rove(they did take strike with the 26th pick), and moved rove to a different position. They are the best team in the league because they get the most out of their players, and moving him would be an easy way to get more out of him. We dont know how it would have played out, but I guarantee that if Rove would jave gone people would be saying the liberty were dumb because they didnt take rove at 11.
