This guy is scary looking. If football doesn't work out I predict he becomes a bouncer or a bodyguard.

One of those names I'll say wrong until I hear it pronounced correctly on TV or Radio. A la Tabata and Melancon - Yankee prospects...

Kids got great numbers. He also, as Bruce said, looks like a physical freak. He gained between 15-20 pounds after season, and before combine. If you have seen his combine video you know it didn

Some guys like him go undrafted.

Others go 6th overall.

I think there's going to be a lot of undrafted DL that wind up making some noise over the coming years. This draft was ridiculously deep in that area and a bunch of guys that normally would have been late-rounders wound up being unlucky as a result.

We wouldn't have to worry about this guy getting better if it wasn't for Vernon ****ing Gholston.

What Pettine said is pretty true. I really thought he'd get drafted. He's the only UDFA off the top of my head at 3:30 we signed that I was really glad we signed. There's alot of talent there.

G'luck to him in his venture...Maybe he can be BT's replacement in the long run.

Edit: Warren was the other guy, but Baspeed is a way better athlete at his position.

basped has a medical history people aren't talking about... my theory he didn't get drafted because of that knee... and going to be PSquad this year as the article points out... he's a couple years away at best.. but still my fave UDFA, as I said day of the signing...

also like Mick Williams DT... another psquad guy...

Not possible.

This guy is a UDFA, DE to OLB project.

Gholston was a #6 overall draft pick, DE to OLB project.

My belief is that the "projects" should be the UDFA's and late-rounders. I never understood drafting a player that high, with that much guaranteed money to play a position they have never played.

Basped is a safe project, if he doesn't work out... he hasn't set the team back at all.

Gholston, well we know the impact of missing on your 1st rounder especially that early.
