I love the pick of Rivers as most improved offensive player. Zion gets most of the fanfare, but I actually think Rivers will end up being our most complete and consistent OLineman. He just has to stay healthy.

Also added interceptions to the prediction list.

When is the last time we had a guy with at least 4 picks in a season? Mike Jack maybe?

Jaquan Johnson and Mike Jack had 4 each in 2017
Artie Burns had 6 in 2015
Tracy Howard had 4 in 2013

The only 4+ interceptions a season in a decade.

Wow thanks for the info. I really just threw the number 4 out as a guess. We got some guys that I believe will get there hands on a few this year.

Next best over 6 interceptions was ST26's 10 interceptions in 2003. Team record, shared with Bennie Blades (1986). Ed Reed had 9 in 2001, 8 in 2000.

Reviewing the stats online, since 1983, it was rare to see a player with 5 or more interceptions. 5 is a solid number in a 12 or 11 game regular season. Plus other players rotate in...lot of factors.
