They had him in for a 30 visit too. So this is a kid they targeted. That makes me feel a bit better about it too.

I just watched him vs LSU.  Big, muscular guy.  I did not see body catching in that game.  He can get deep with his size/speed, but as scouting reports I saw said, he isn’t a dynamic route runner.  Cutting sharply at his size is a challenge.  In that game, his size allowed him to shield defenders with his body on over the middle plays.

 

I know 1 game is not scouting, but I can see a little of what they like.  I also read that, as I guessed, he is a gunner on ST.

What are the odds of taking one of the FLORIDA Safeties?  lol

 

Rashad Torrence and Trey Dean will be right in our window.  Let's make this a Florida draft!  lol

Solid list Gunner.  I like it.

Considering the contract status of many DT's on the roster, I'm thinking that a DT has to be in the mix for one pick IF there is a BPA in that window to consider.

I thought Zach Evans would be a 5th rounder, he'd be a nice add at this point. 

 

Also a fan of Eli Ricks, specifically his high traits/potential.  Former 5-star recruit, has ideal length and press/zone scheme versatile.

Florida had some bad coaching and program was struggling prior to new coach arriving last year.  No doubt that they can recruit some top talent, maybe looking for some top athletes who might be behind a bit due to the program’s struggles.

The only DT left on my board with a grade is Moro Ojomo.

I didn't focus on him the same way... but I wasn't super impressed what I did see. 

[Chaos]

Any theories on the Luke Wypler drop? did his college production drop in the last several weeks, or his combine results change?

I’ll take Brandon Joseph.  The safety out of ND.   Has a lot of upside.  Let him learn from Hyde and Poyer, and we could have our future safety.

I think he's not an every down DT but certainly great to bring in on short yardage, and goal line situations.  Great low base, and can collapse the pocket (or at least hold his ground).  Big dude.

Bills make wholesale rotations on the DL.   Everybody has to be an every down player.

[BBills83]

Can play all 3 interior spots and is a smart player. Very surprising he is still there.
