Big Wormley, Vanderdoes and D.T. fan.

I think Johnson is a guy that could end up being a top 3 DT From this class.

TK is intriguing in the 3rd but right now it looks like hes gunna have to keep proving himself in camp.

Looking at tape, the dt from Charlotte looks like a guy that could develop into a player for us.

I am also intrigued by the dt from Tulane.

Yeah, I like Ogunjobi a lot, I just don't think he is going to be there when the Patriots pick, so I left him off. I think he goes close to top 50.
Tanzel Smart could fit in as that situatiational pass rushing interior lineman. I worry about his size though.

The guy I am most intrigued with is Grover Stewart. If you haven't watched him, I highly recommend it. He is so athletic for a guy his size. The competition jump is going to be big and he needs some technique development, but he has the physical and athletic traits to make it in the NFL.

Totally with you there, which is why I was disappointed to read that Pauline thinks he goes in the 3rd / 4th range: DA Draft Buzz April 17 Part II: Small School Defenders Shooting up Boards | Draft Analyst

I also really want us to bring in Ebukam, so that's a double whammy.

Damn. That would be rich. The physical traits are intriguing and this DT class sucks, so maybe he could go higher that expected.
