I remember a few being high Arkin including the guy who had the Brad Pitt avatar.

Anybody by name? I'll do a search on it later if anybody comes back to you. Now I'm curious. Brad Pitt avatar means nothing to me, unfortunately.

Ok... so i went and watched tape on Antonio and my analysis is thus: Quicker feet than Turner and even Lewan (barely) but doesn't play with as much power as either of them. Does a good job of standing his man up in pass protection and staying locked onto his man. He does a good job of drive blocking on runs but not as strong again as Turner or Lewan. In all I would say his ceiling is higher than Turner but not Lewan because he can get stronger and if he can be coached to keep his balance better then I think he could be really good. I still don't know if you can teach quicker feet tho. I think he projects to tackle better than Turner but not guard. He is not as good as Lewan in either category as Lewan already has quick feet and will get bigger and stronger in an NFL weight room as well. All in all a good prospect though. I would take him in the 3rd and be happy with the pick. My first two picks this year are best dline prospect available .... no matter what. It's too big a need unless we are willing to not be competitive this year, which I can understand, and are just looking to build going forward.

Hey bud, thanks for putting in the effort. Good read.

I literally remember nobody being high on Arkin around here, but he was signed off of our practice squad by another team last year, wasn't he?

And, visionary, at some point are you ever going to criticize arguments that were ever actually made, rather than the ones that you've made up to make your other positions sound more believable in retrospect? Because the pretend argument thing just isn't very convincing to anybody.

Lol @Idgit
I will not bother to dignify this with a response
