A lot to live up to then for poor Sebastian but I'm sure he will.

Actually, I'm calling him "Seabass." lol. This guy's a physical freak with a high ceiling so I think in a few years we are going to be very happy that we got him.

Q: What was your contact with the Patriots prior to the Draft?
SV: Coach [Dante] Scarnecchia came down to Houston and he worked me out. So I got to know him and we talked for a little bit. That was pretty much my contact.

seems they did some more homework on him

How much time did you spend scouting the players? I'm sure based on your extensive knowledge of all the players available that your ranking is more accurate than BB's

If he talks like Arnold Schwarzenegger that'll be a big plus...

He's certainly a very big man...... Dante likes him, I like him!

I'm very excited about this pick. A fellow German getting drafted in the second round and playing for my favourite team.

I'll go for "Full Ocean" as the translation of his last name.

On the substance, a scouting report that says he's quick on his feet/apt to become good at pulling makes me feel better about him, whether at RT or inside.

Personally, I'm pretty happy about the pick. I have been increasingly unhappy with Matt Light and view this kid as the most-likely successor . . . hopefully sooner rather than later. I really hope he can pick up the NFL game quickly.

Well, it wouldnt be a BB draft if he didnt give us a surprise. For those that are questioning the reach. Remember, its not a reach if you are getting the guy you want, and he becomes a successful player. Its ok though, i realize there's alot of people on here that know more then BB

He could be the 'Barwin' of the tackle group with a short playing career thus far but huge upside

Dante obviously loved him ....
