Not sure he needs to get back on track, just because he doesn't have great stats. 

 

Do we know he wasn't taking on doubles regularly with Carolina? I honestly haven't watched enough game film to assess, but everyone saying he's flopped, have you? 

 

DT is a position where you can make significant impact without significant numbers. Given McBeane's history with Star, and the fact they clearly targeted him early, I trust they know and like the player.

I have mixed feelings of this pick.

 

On one hand he fills a big need and probably will be a good run plugger.

 

On the other hand he doesn't get many tackles or sacks and he hasn't graded out well with PFF.   Not to say that they are the be all and end all but it is a data point.

 

I have heard arguments that he has played well despite his lack of stats but I can't lie, I'm a little concerned.   

 

But I do trust the process.  I do trust their familiarity with him and if they are good with him than so will I.

 

Here's to hoping that he ends up being a good run stuffer for us.   Hopefully he doesn't break the bank either.

Good but not explosive player.  Dareus is explosive (when he shows up).  Kwann Short is explosive.  Star is solid.  I was hoping they'd try to pry Wolfe out of Denver (he's Kyle 2.0) but this does fill a need.

Necessary position to address, but uninspired choice to address it with. Can't be surprised, but his play last season didn't indicate a guy worth signing for 5 years, more like 2 with a team option for a third.

Congrats to all of us who had Star in our free agent preview threads we wrote. Can mark that free space off the bingo board lol
