I think that will be his best NFL fit, at least initially while he improves his strength and learns pass rush moves, at which point a transition to DE could be feasible. That's why my player comparison for him was T.J. Watt. High energy, high motor tweener that has the athleticism to get after the QB with improved play strength and pass rush technique. Watt is the high end outcome of that type of player.

So they already envision him supplanting Walker on nickel sub packages? They certainly have a lot of confidence in his athletic ability. Personally, I'd have Okereke taking that role if anyone from this draft.

Tackling is all about heart. It hurts.

I really don’t see the hype with Banogu.

Would a more athletic Marcus Washington comparison be fair for Banogu?

I hope he can be that. I had the same thought on Sunday when trying to picture what he could be

He's the one pick I'm hesitant about. Seems like it was too high to take a guy who they're largely projecting based on a position change.

He's a super-athlete, basically. YMMV on what that actually suggests as a player.

That looks like a nerd stat for nerds.
