We all had Angina when McCourty was at cornerback and Chung was at Safety. Half the guys on this messageboard clutched their chests and screamed, "turn your freakin' head," whenever an opposing QB launched a pass down the seam.

And they wonder why health care costs so much.

The brother is only a freshman at Oregon, but he's an interesting prospect as well. He was the #1 OT in the nation but went to Oregon because they'd let him play defensive end instead.

If we were to get him as a DE in the late 1st or early 2nd, and he's more serious about being successful as a pro, we could turn him over to Scar and end up with a top 10 value.

If the Pats do sign Armstead - and the ball's most likely in their court at this point - then it's pretty much like getting an extra draft pick. There's little doubt that if he hadn't had the medical issued and been forced to take a medical redshirt that he would have been draftable last year, and he's only 22.

Just to point out, there was significant interest in him by the Pats in the build up to the Draft. I noted that on the Pre-Draft Contact List we run every year in the Draft Forum:

Creator of the Pats must draft Jason Verrett in 2014 no matter the cost fanclub.

Absolutely. That's one reason I'm hopeful that this is more than just a casual visit, and that there's a good chance the team will make him an offer and he will sign. The Pats have shown interest in him before and they are a perennial SB contender, so it would seem like a very good situation for Armstead if they make him an offer. He apparently enjoyed his CFL experience and playing in Toronto, so he doesn't seem wedded to being on the West Coast.

The problem is that his medical issues were caused by the USC medical staff improperly dosing him with Toradol. If he's medically cleared now, there isn't an issue, now is there.

Your comment was in bad taste.

I'm sure they would move him around if they sign him, but I wonder if they see him as mainly a LDE or DT.

mayoclinic

Hopefully a bit of both. He played mainly DT for Toronto, I believe, but he played DE for USC in 2010. I love the idea of him as a DE, but either way works for me.

He's was in Indy yesterday after NE on Tuesday, not surprisingly it looks like there will be multiple teams with interest.

You guys on the draft boards really are pro's at kicking ALL of the tires. Props to those who wanted or thought about this guy coming aboard.

Thanks for helping the unknowing of us gain an insight - it's the sign of a healthy fan board in my book.

Now just need BB to SIGN THE BEAST. (Can he rush the passer?)
