Best run defender in football, according to the Draft Show.

A perfect fit.

He's 6'3 and weighs 330lbs. He has 33.5" arms and showed the ability to two-gap. He's great at running stunts and has tremendous athletic traits but didn't show a lot of pass rush. To knock for me is that his bull rush did flash for a guy so powerful and long.

Michigan beat Ohio State last year. If this guy had much to do with that I’m glad we picked him. Seems like we could get a player like this in the second round though. Our recent history of drafting Michigan players in the first round isn’t great...

Great pick ...... look at the history of the guys who do not like it.

That’s not what I’m hearing!
We got the strongest DT in the draft! We don’t need a dynamic pass rusher, just a big strong dude that can clog the middle and push the pocket.

I like it!!!
I'd rather have a DT who consistently bursts into the backfield, but the thing about Mazi is that there's little doubt he will be hard to move and play well against the run.

He's an amplifier for our talented edge rushers. DT was a huge need!
I thought DT was one of our top needs and was the position I wanted most. Of course, I wanted a player like Kancey who could get some pressure, but we needed the run defense as well. He will be an early-down monster.

He's a jag. Philly got miles better tonight, Dallas drafted mediocrity. The gap between the 2 teams grew significantly. They got 2 elite defenders, we got a big fat guy who will maybe make 1 more play than the average member of this board.
