His 34 1/2 inch arm length was No. 1 among linebackers, and would have been tied for 8th among defensive linemen AND linebackers. He appears to be a day three prospect, who could eventually work his way into the starting lineup if he can turn his physical tools into production. He strikes me as a guy who could very well be on Trent Baalke and Chip Kelly's respective radars.

RB D.J. Foster Arizona State
a receiver and running back ran a 4.57-second 40

Devin Lucien WR Arizona State
6-foot-2, 195-pound ran anywhere from a 4.42 to a 4.52.

Vi Teofilo G Arizona State 6030 325 5.17

Thats a lot of reps.

Well, either they got what they needed in interviews at the combine and don't won't to show their hand...

Or, he had that 'crazy, junky, down-n-da-hood look' in his eyes that scared the white out of 'em and don't want him walking the hallways of their buildings...

Wonder if Ireland asked him if he'd pimp him mom to score a hit?!?

NFL Scouts to Visit Winnipeg for Bisons’ Onyemata
March 4, 2016 03:17 PM

All eyes of the NFL will be on David Onyemata March 14.

The University of Manitoba Bisons defensive lineman will hold a pro day football workout for at least 12-16 NFL scouts.

Onyemata, 23, has made a lasting impression at the CIS level and continues to pursue a professional football career.

“I am looking forward to the opportunity to work out for NFL scouts,” said Onyemata. “I appreciate coach (Brian) Dobie and his staff and the support they have shown me.”

Noah Spence is off my short list. His interviews must have been terrible.

If we moved back in the first round, I'd really like LaTech DL Vernon Butler, or even Clemson DE Kevin Dodd...

Billings, Rakins, all the same guys...I'm seeing Sedrick Ellis 2.0...

Darron Lee, Shaq Lawson could be in play for New Orleans Saints at No. - New Orleans Saints Blog- ESPN

With a 4.47 40 time, not a surprise his stock is rising.

Jaylon Smith is dropping like a rock

Myles Jack is rumored to have his own recovery issues

Donald Lee while a solid prospect. I just did not see the impact this year to warrant this high of a jump in the rankings much less top 15.

Which means the saints will probably take him.

You thought this was small
Myles Jack OLB UCLA 6011 245 4.56
look at this
Darron Lee OLB Ohio State 6006 232 4.47

IMO his stock has sky rocketed because of injury, the media love for OLB and the fear of missing out on that surprise draft pick. Like over valuing DE because they are the glamor diva of the NFL.

He is a huge reach IMO. some 15 to 30 picks higher than he should be. season end i had him as a high round two.

jeanpierre · 03-05-2016, 07:45 PM

As high as we're picking, we really need that pick to start from Day 1...

Am still disappointed in Andrus Peat not being able to overtake Zach Strief at the least...

Especially when CB Marcus Peters was on the board and we let him fall to KC...

Imagine being able to pair Marcus Peters with Keenan Lewis AND Delvin Breaux!
