To help commemorate the 20-year anniversary of Purdue's magical turnaround 1997 season, GoldandBlack.com's staff will break up the rosters and select the best players to wear a Boilermaker uniform since Coach Joe Tiller's first season on the sidelines.
GoldandBlack.com's 20-year Purdue player draft will have 100 players chosen — two picks each weekday over 10 weeks. Boilermakers who were on Purdue rosters between 1997-2017 are eligible for selection. The draft order is Alan Karpick, Stacy Clardie, Kyle Charters and Brian Neubert.
Karpick puts the finishing touch on his offensive line with this pick.
Draft ticker: Nos. 1-68
Kevin Pamphile's Purdue career was a work in progress. Recruited by Danny Hope out of Miami as one of many Florida prospects, Pamphile started 21 of 35 games he appeared in at Purdue from 2010-13, with many coming at left tackle.
In the NFL, Pamphile has found his place on Tampa Bay's offensive line, starting all 14 games he appeared in last year and has appeared in 37 games in the past three years after being tabbed in the fifth round (149th pick overall) of the 2014 draft.
On my offensive line, I will move him to the right tackle as his 6-foot-5, 315-pound frame will finish out my offensive front. The fact I have five guys that were good enough to play in the NFL should be calming to my Hall-of-Fame-level quarterback.
Did I say I have a Hall-of-Fame-level quarterback?
