Kazkal Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 I say we draft him and then stick him on the Dline sure hes never played it but a 6'9 DE who ran a 4.8 would be insane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schweinhart Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Not sure but don't think he can enter. But when he does there's only 1 spot for him -- LT and you're talking a high 1st rounder. He'll go back there after Stephon Heyer leaves and Heyer looks like he's recovered real well from his knee injury. He kicks out upfield on screens about as quick as any LT I've seen this year and has great balance and feet on his lateral slide while he's engaged with a defender. Probably 3rd or 4th round LT.There's been a couple other RTs though that I've wondered if they couldn't swing DT in the NFL -- Brandon Cox Louisiana Lafayette and Wesley Jones of Marshall. But can't say I've seen a T who looks like a DE this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted October 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 no doubt early 1st hes just so big though DT would be fine too lol be a bigger version of henderson lol....From my understanding he can enter the draft because hes 3years removed from HS....Just a old soph like Ko was.

schweinhart Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 If he can enter and does, he should go real high. Really can't see a team taking Joe Thomas or Sam Baker over this guy. He's a Collosus.Another possible early entry at LT would be Barry Richardson. I noticed some problems keeping up with the quicks of an undersized DE like Noland Burchette of Va Tech but Richardson should be a solid late 1st round LT prspect if he enters.

schweinhart Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Watched some of Miami-Maryland between other games last night and noticed Gaither had his hands full with Baraka Atkins. I've watched Gaither several times and he usually bats around DEs like they are toys...but he had to work with Atkins and couldn't really stop Atkins from dictating where he wanted to go on the plays I saw. The only other thing I had seen that raises a question about Gaither was his tendency to let smaller, quicker DEs get underneath him and past him but it looked like he was compensating by getting extremely low in his stance to start the snap with better leverage low. Probably not the best thing to do with a big-framed bullrusher like Baraka.Still, if Gaither does enter early, he'll definitely go high.
