Pete Posted April 30, 2006 Author Posted April 30, 2006 I think Oshinawa (sp?) is still available. 677178[/snapback] Babatunde Oshinowo DT, Stanford War Room analysis Strengths: Has a squatty frame and strong build, which is conducive to stopping the run. Stays low, makes contact with hands and shows powerful hip explosion at the point of attack. Shows great balance and body control. Has strong hands to tackle ball carriers while still engaged with blockers. Is smart, and recognizes plays quickly. Weaknesses: Shows limited lateral mobility. Lacks the closing speed to make plays in pursuit. Lacks promise as a pass rusher; must learn to use hands better. Is slow to shed blocks and get to the ball. Bottom line: Oshinowo lacks natural athleticism but is a promising nose tackle prospect in a 3-4 scheme because of his ability to hold ground at the point of attack and protect linebackers. He also occupies blockers well enough to handle one-technique nose duties in a 4-3. He projects as a late-Round 4 selection. Dan Pompei analysis Athletic prospect works better as run defender than pass rusher. Plays hard. Is a little tight in the hips, so he doesn't always get under blocks well. Uses hands to disengage. Is instinctive. Didn't have great workouts, and stock is down as a result. Probably is better equipped for a two-gap scheme.

Ozymandius Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 Gabe Watson failed a drug test, is he gone now? 677239[/snapback] It was Claude Wroten that failed the drug test and he was taken in the third. Watson is just fat/unmotivated.
