Could give Stinchcomb some competition. He's best suited to be a RT.

LOL we are all on defense and here we over look a great pick.

Sigh . . . wait till next year for me.

Oh, well, . . . I'ld rather have a monster like this guy to put on the practice squad and develop than to reach for a LB who won't make the team or the PS

This pick speaks volumes. It tells me they're safe and comfortable with the starters we've got, now, at this point in the offseason. So now, rather than drafting for immediate upgrade, they're planning for the future. They must think they have all the bases covered.

Married with a three year old. No clubbing problems with this pick.
