    This pick was made to light a fire under Okoye's ass

    I doubt they made the pick in order to scare an underachieving bust.

    LOL, why are you guys saying 215? You guys really think a DT would weight as much as our receivers?

    The farther you go into the draft, the less projections matter.

    He's the Shane Carwin of the NFL. He cut massive weight for the weigh in and then adds height and weight for gameday.

    Seems to be an Okoye clone...I dont know, at some point, we need to get a guy thats 320+ lbs that eats up space, instead of these finesse tackles.

    Posts like these pretty much blow my mind - have you ever even seen Earl Mitchell play?

    Projections are pretty useless past a certain point. Admittedly the 3rd round is early to start picking relative unknowns but the point remains that after a certain point individual team boards look nothing like most mock drafts.

    This draft pretty moreso than more years showed how off projections can be. Claussen was projected at top 10 and fell to 48. Tyson Alualu was projected 2nd round and was taken 10th.
