From what I'm reading, this kid grew really fast and is still coming into his own physically. He's already a big specimen, and I'm sure Rock is going to get him in the training room & add strength/bulk to an already mammoth frame. We may be set at DT for a very long time, and that's something that we've been missing since forever. Granted, I'm convincing myself he's a great pick, but it's turning out to be not-so-hard to do.PhxRam said:oh boy.. Lets hope with some real NFL trainers he can work on his strength

A part of the horrible bench press could be his incredibly-long arms; they're thirty-six inches. He's got an impressive wingspan, and 6'6", 322 lbs. for a defensive tackle is pretty damn impressive whichever way you look at it. In the best case scenario, he's Marcus Stroud-incarnate.

Well, we have a chance to take the 3rd rated receiver (consensus opinion out there) in the draft tomorrow night in Rueben Randle.PhxRam said:X said:From what I'm reading, this kid grew really fast and is still coming into his own physically.

Dont get me wrong, I dont necessarily mind the pick but from what I am reading he sounds like a project. I have faith in this regime so I am more than willing to give them a chance on this pick.
I am not all that happy we ignored the WR position, but I think the Jags may have had a hand in that.
Excelent point momento. I worry though, with Langford, our starting DTs are both like 6-6. Taller guys often have trouble with leverage, though I read Brockers doesn't.Memento said:PhxRam said:Did I read those combine numbers right and he was the worst on the bench press??

I hope the best for him, though I'm not thrilled.
