Did Downey place at the Nationals?

I agree. That allows Wilke to wrestle at 184. Go Hawks!!!
I actually meant he should open the bracket and scan down to 197 to find what Downey did in 2016.

I'm not sure which is better. 197 is weaker which gives Wilke a chance to AA, but it also gives Downey a good chance to make the finals. If Downey is all in he can go with all the 184#ers. I don't know. I think I'm slightly leaning Downey 197.

I would do the same, as he would be a 1-yr rental before Warner moves into the 197 slot. Might as well let Wilcke be comfortable at his more natural weight for a couple of years. Sacrificing a few team points this year shouldn't be a concern when it is a season to get your ducks in a row to come out firing in 2018/19.
