What scares you a bit on big man Billings? This guy could really move people down in Waco. I mean fork lift, white rhino type strength. To say this kid is only 21, he is already a grown man strong. Pretty light on his feet to say he is a tad over 300 lbs.

With Billings the Buttttt revolves around playing against spread offenses. OL players from the spread are fundamentally flawed at the pro level. They are always a project. So my fear is what happens when he faces a pro offense were the OL does not bail into pass coverage eliminating the gaping lanes he got in college. Can he handle an OL that punches first before giving as little ground as possible.

Billings does come with some bull strength. BUTTTTTT.......

Rankings is all about speed so he is still the biggest BUT in the draft for me.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............

I think a 3 tech DT is our biggest need at the moment, but with so many good DT's in this draft we can find an instant starter in the 2nd round. I just did a quick 3 round mock to see how that approach could work:

Round 1 Pick 12: Kevin Dodd, DE, Clemson
- Perfect weak side DE to complement Cameron Jordan. The group of DT's is too deep to pass on a great DE here.

Round 2 Pick 16: Chris Jones, DT/DE, Mississippi State
- Boom. Day one starter at the 3 technique.

Round 3 Pick 15: Joshua Garnett, OG, Stanford
- Probably won't fall past the 2nd round so it's a no-brainer here.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............

big pro day IMO. This is the pro day I have had circled since day 1 of the draft beauty pageant season

March 24
Arizona
Ball State
Cal Poly
East Carolina
Houston
Lamar
Massachusetts
Missouri Western State
North Dakota State
Rice
Southern Miss
Utah

A bunch of serious day 2 and day 3 prospects hit the field

Mike Jordan, CB/FS, Missouri Western
Montese Overton OLB East Carolina
Bryce Williams, TE, East Carolina
Mike Thomas, WR, S. Miss
Connor McGovern, OG, Missouri
Evan Boehm OC/OG Missouri
William Jackson IIl CB Houston
Tajae Sharpe, WR, UMass
Tevin Carter S Utah
Joe Haeg OT/OG North Dakota State
Cayleb Jones WR Arizona
Jordan Williams-Lambert WR Ball St.

Some top priority UDFA in the mix.

Curious to see what Treadwell runs at his Pro Day today ... not that it should matter all that much.

McShay's latest mock has us going Rankins in the first and Jaylon Smith in the second.

Just last week, scouts/analysts had JS dropping as low as the 4th. I wonder what changed? Updated medicals?

If he is taken in the 2nd , that will be one hellava gamble for the respective team.
