See. We pair them up now. Two PSU linebackers. Two UCLA guys. Two Florida guys.John_Viveiros wrote:Got to be Tennessee State or Penn State. We only have one of those drafted each so far. We pair up our picks now.

Height and tendency to play with high pad level cause him to give ground at times, especially when he's slow to get his hands up. Defenders can get their hands into his chest and pop off to make plays at the line. Leans and bends at the waist, relying on his length to push away defenders instead of moving his sometimes-heavy feet. Must prove he can come off the ball quick and low, tends to raise up on contact to allow opponents to slip past him. Pass pro awareness is inconsistent, will fail to keep his eyes moving to find late blitzers. Can be out-quicked in space, as well as defenders attacking plays before he gets his body moving behind the line off the snap.
I would maybe take Kaufman, too.80 PurplePride 84 wrote:Our last pick gotta be Poyer, Rogers or Wilson.
He's big, that's about it. He also had trouble when he let his weight creep up to 370, so that's not good either. But he's a really big dude, no doubt about it.John_Viveiros wrote: After reading the NFL description
