Domata Peko, DT, Michigan State.

The guy with the hair.

Posted

see i like him, i remember watching him last year. he was a decent player on a bad team. if anything i dig the hair! :lol:

Did we just take Mathias Askew again??

Any news on trading Kelley?

Posted

I've read that his ideal fit is as a 3-4 nose tackle, which intrigues me.

Lovely, lovely.

We pass again on a number of other better players so we can have yet another underwhelming DT from Michigan State

I think I had the draft rated an F+ prior to this. Solid F now.

Just horrendous.

I didn't fully understand rounds 2 and 3... but I understand this. Great pick. Comes from the same school as Askew... so lets hope they don't share too much in common. He's 320 lbs

Playing with reckless abandon, Peko goes incredibly hard for 60 minutes. Offers upside as a three-technique lineman or rotational tackle in a conventional defense.

I wonder if he's a future NT possibility. Regardless, you gotta love a guy with hair like this Domata_Peko.jpg

GET MIKE BROWN OUT OF THE DRAFT ROOM!!!!!!

Who would you have taken? We got the best DT left on the board, what more would you want?

Don't forget Rodrique Wright...he's still there as well.

Orion Harris is still on the board and we passed why????

The same reason why we and 32 other teams "passed" on him in the 3rd round, there were better players on the board at that time.

No, we didn't - and I've already answered your question, if you bothered to look earlier in this thread.

There's your comparison - compare what either of these two guys - Frosty the Snow Man and Hurley Peko - do in 2006 to what the pick taken AFTER Peko does in 2006. See you in December.

Dear lord, one of you actually is promoting him on the basis of his hair.

Peko definitely fits a bill of need. Seems a little early for the specific need, but hey it's splitting hairs at this point. The Hairy One has got bounds of energy and might even push Shaun Smith for PT. I like the pick well enough but would've liked a little more heft or lower center of gravity in the likes of Oshinowo or Jonathan Lewis.

I am glad we passed on Harris in favor of Peko. I honestly think this is our best pick so far. He's not Askew just because of his school. In fact, based on what he did on the field every week, he's the opposite.

He and Shaun Smith are both much bigger than Marvin's usual DTs, and I'd love to see what they can do next to Sam Adams. Great pick.

I don't know.

But you can ask every other team in the fourth so far the same question.

This is eerily similar to last year when people were screaming about stupid picks because Shazor and Hawthorne were still on the board.

Can I hold you to that? I think Peko might be the steal of the draft.
