If Twitter is correct, he had 7 sacks last year. If true, that ain't bad.
5.5 as a sophomore
1 as a JR
7 as a SR.

They aren't bad numbers but I'd expect more. However knowing a little more about how Oklahoma used him I'm excited. Probably the best DE prospect left.

If anybody was watching ESPN Kiper and McShay really loved the pick.

Not much to complain about with this draft so far. Instead of pretending we're smarter than everyone else by taking little known athletes that "project", we're actually taking football players.

I seem to recall he was injured during his junior year.

I'm not thrilled with Tapper but I'll have to wait and see. Would have preferred Blair, Murray, or a WR.

This seemed like a good idea at the time.

Very much so. With that speed he should be flying off the edge every play. I like the pick. Although it feels like a forced DE need pick. Still I think Marinelli could get a legit DE out of him. With that speed and size his counter moves should be really good.
He is a solid pick, and the speed he has won't be impacted much when they bulk him up.

Baltimore has had a quiet solid draft. Moore though surprises me. Newsome never seems to have luck drafting WRs.

Yeah, it's pretty scary. But we're not out of the woods yet. We have one more 4th round pick and the 4th round is where they usually like to waste a pick on a small school DB.

Fucking Vitale. Got me all excited when he started talking about the bucs taking a QB. I thought Prescott was going.

Die, you cocksucker.

Vitale's announcement managed to be even worse than I expected it to be.

Ryan Smith, North Carolina Central....probably was high on the Cowboys' draft board. Jerry's probably cursing up a storm because Tampa stole his small school dB.

If it's not Prescott, I'll be stunned

I hate Vitale. He's one of the most annoying people in sports broadcasting. The worthless piece of shit needs to either die or retire.

Giants fucked up with Apple, but righted themselves nicely. Should be interesting to see what they do.

Yeah, but I was hoping we'd make it this far without doing something stupid. Our first 4 picks were all in premium position. The 1st 4th rounder was basically like another 3rd.

Our compensatory 4th is at the bottom, so will be easier to swallow if we shit the bed with it. It will suck if we blow it, but hey. You gotta grab whatever you can with this team.
