Let's see what he can do against other NFL lineman. At worst he'll compete for a starting spot w/Richardson. His "rip" move is really nice & seems versatile. Looking at his videos, he is violent, potential beast like ability. BIG guy (a skittle over 300 lbs).

I think Ireland may have found a nice one.

His situational awareness is off the chart. Look at know he is always on the ball no matter who has it.

Agreed, he always seems to know where the ball is and move his feet accordingly.

I think he might surprise some people, a guy like that has fought to get the NFL when he started from nothing, why would he give any less than 110% now.

Watch his tape, he's like a man amongst boys!

He's bigger, stronger and faster than everyone he goes up against.

The guy could be a very nice diamond in the rough.

I really do like this pick. Can't wait to see him in live action.I also wish we would have kept Rufus Johnson.

Play call number 1...

Hey Oneyamata, see the guy with the ball?
Get past his guards and destroy him.

Play call number 2...
See number 1.

He is a solid roll of the dice upside pick without a doubt. He may not have been a top my list of upsiders and round 4 may have been a bit high for him but if it is a reach I can live with it.

The only issue I have is because of the Bell trade, this kid has a cost of a 3rd round pick in trade value.

I fear Bell will be like Ingram and have to justify all the extra picks he cost to get him. Average play will never work. I hope this kid does not get caught up in that. All those picks rests Bell not this kid

All those picks? We gave up one pick. One 4th rounder to move up is not "all the extra picks"
