Hope this guy is a diamond in the rough
But I dont have real high expectations for such a late draft pick.

They cut Woods after he was drafted. So it would seem they are confident in his ability.Hope this guy is a diamond in the rough

A combination of Bohana, Osa, Golston, Urban, Watkins, Basham to replace the snaps of Crawford, Woods, and Armstrong (believe Dorance will be cut by the end of TC)? Positive gain
Potential growth and development of Gallimore and Hill? Add in a (hopefully) full offseason and healthy year for Gregory? Should see some gains from these guys as well.
DLaw was solid last year... no reason to think he can’t do it again or perhaps deliver a slightly more productive season.
The FO may not have added a blue chip FA or draft pick.... but they have added some very solid role players and have definitely beefed up the run stopping talent.
Pass-rush? Little harder to predict
No doubt, but gotta see him perform on the field.They cut Woods after he was drafted. So it would seem they are confident in his ability.
IF he can control his weight he will be a find. His coach at Kentucky said he seemed to finally understand about keeping it down.
Bottom line is he is the first real fire plug we have had since forever.
All this quick twitch crap got us nothing.
Give me a big trash can full of dirt in the middle.
I think he can be a lot more.
Get a very large sack of kitty food and I aint cleaning out the litter box
All indications are that the main reason he fell was his weight. There is doubt he can keep it off. He never really tried to take off weight until he was getting ready for the draft. I have read where if he had been at 330 the whole season he might have been as high as a 3rd rd pick.I'm definitely hopeful and glad that we got a player who better fits the nose tackle profile. However, a lot of late-round picks wash out, so I won't be surprised if that happens.
You’ve just cracked my top 10 Haters list.It is hilarious reading posts by wannabe GMs getting all hot and bothered and thinking a 6th round 327-350 pound DL is the cure-all for the defense and the ticket to the promised land.
Shhh, keep it quiet, the 31 other teams haven’t figured it out. What else explains him lasting to the 6th round?
I wish him well and hope he does well and like the name Bohanna - sounds Hawaiian.
What percentage chance does he have making the team? 20-30% right now, maybe? Should be fun watching him in camp, though. Going to break a lot of hearts if he is cut or poached from the practice squad.

Welcome to the club. You don't want to hang out in Rockport and his crews club anyway. I hear they just sit around and pretend its 1995 all day long.Cool. Let me know when I pass @PAPPYDOG and @Risen Star and @MountaineerCowboy . I know I got a ways to go but I'm trying.

I like this kid but then again some of my former DL pet cats have been guys like Charles Tapper. I also was desperate for us to land Derek Barnett and he's kind of a dud in Philly. So this kid is probably gonna bust since I just gave him the kiss of death.
Does @Risen Star know this?@Risen Star is not on it. We’re Bro’s

No such thing as a homer club. There’s the Cowboy fans and then there are the Haters.Thanks for clarifying that. I did not know @Risen Star was in your 'Homer Club.' I guess he did a mea culpa and finally disavowed Wentz and swore allegiance to Dak.

stick him in the middle and let two people block him if that happens he could be the mvp on the defensive side
everybody else can be 1 on 1 and i like those odds
