Andrew Billings Defensive Tackle Baylor

[jwooten15]

I think I'd prefer going CB or LB in the first round if we go defense. Maybe pick up a 1-tech through free agency since Marinelli obviously doesn't expect a lot of production out of the position

I do not think he is a top 5 pick but someone is going to get a real good player with Billings probably in the top half of the first round. I don't think he will ever put up large sack numbers in the NFL, but he is going to be a pain for teams to deal with if he can stay healthy and motivated.

He's like a hybrid between Wilfork and Donald. This guy's a beast, I don't know if you can draft a 1Tech at 4 overall but if we happen to draft back he would be an excellent get.

Doesnt look like 1/2 the athlete of Donald. Comparing a DT to Donald is like comparing a RB to Bo Jackson honestly...that's how freakish Donald was at the combine. Billings looks like a nice player, but Donald isn't the right comparison if you ask me.

Billings is plenty freakish



The Donald comparison is more about his quickness and ability to use his leverage, although Billings is MUCH stronger than Donald. Donald had an insane 40 time for a DT, that won't be seen anytime soon.

Just basing prospect off their film, Billings would probably grade out near the top this year. He's dominant on the inside. When he gets that momentum moving upfield or down the line he's

I would take Billings before Oakman. He is going to be a better pro than Oakman and I like Oakman's talent. Of course my opinion is biased as a Baylor alum.

If Billings played at Alabama he'd already be receiving the hype Marcell Dareus had at this point of the process. He's a top 10 player in this draft.

Donald put up 38 reps at the combine, at 285 lbs. He also ran a 4.68 forty. Name 1 DT drafted in the last 40 years with more athletic talent and strength.

You mean like A'Shawn Robinson who is currently sitting as a top 10 pick?

Donald had a freak workout no doubt, he stole the show and this was the same combine that Clowney participated in.

However, Billings has world class strength and is at least 310-315. For as powerful a man as he is he has some incredible athletic ability. He's not going to run a 4.6 like Donald, you'll never see that again... but he is a freak.

Robinson is really good too, Billings is probably the better fit for this defense though. Offers more as a pass rusher.
