Sperm Edwards Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 To play what position? He's no 3-4 nose tackle. 320 lbs is fine if it's on a player 3-4" shorter. He really doesn't fit at all in the 3-4 as either a NT or an end. A 6'5" nose tackle for the 3-4 should be a minimum of 340-350 lbs (generally speaking). I'd much rather look at Raji who won't cost a top-10 pick & is much more aptly suited for the 3-4 at 6'1/340. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose a summer with Mangini & he'll shed off some baby fat. Hell he burned pounds off DRob & Pouha when they were being moved to NT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure Raji is out for the year and has decided as a result to return for another year. At least thats what i saw on nfldraftcountdown.com, but I agree when he enters the draft he is the kind of guy we need to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never saw anything about any injury he sustained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if he gets a merit badge in boxing-film-appreciation then we might take a shot on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or we could draft Okam and go back to a 4-3 scheme where he lines up next to Robertson and protects Vilma and David Harris. All of a sudden our front 7 on defense would look a lot better.

As long as he knows "character, process, and that's a coaches decision, he'll be ok with Mangini. Oh, and lets not forget about "works hard."
