It was clonamery. If we end up drafting Abasiri, he can officially claim to be first

As many have said, film don't lie.

I'm not seeing what others aren't seeing. Why isn't he ranked higher? Perfect body type, excellent athleticism, and as that clip, and others, demonstrate, has the strength to play in the NFL.

I love this clip of him. Imagine being a QB being confronted with that behemoth splitting a double team.

Is this DT class potantially better than '24?

My only concern is his size. He's listed a 6-2, 312 but he looks shorter than that. Also, only a true junior so may not declare.

Phew! Adding fuel to the 'this DT class is elite' argument. Fastest DTs according to Draft buzz.

1. A'Mauri Washington, Oregon - 4.85 seconds at 330lbs

2. francis Brewu, Pitt - 4.85 at 285

2. Mateen Ibiroga, Texas Tech - 4.85 at 296

4. James Smith, Ohio state (frmly Alabama) - 4.88 at 297

5. David Oke, Arkansas - 4.90 at 312

5. David Stone, Oklahoma - 4.90 at 310

5. Jehiem Oatis, Ole Miss - 4.90 at 325

5. Justin Scott, Miami - 4.90 at 298

5. Stephiylan Green, LSU - 4.90 at 290

10. Jayden Jackson, Oklahoma - 4.95 at 322!

10. Ahmad Moten, Miami - 4.95 at 325

It would be quite something if 11 draftable DTs broke 5 seconds.

Jehiem Oatis very intriguing.

I need to look into him. Right now, Jayden Jackson is the one I'm drawn to outside of the top 5. A little short but he has the size to compliment Milton Williams and a really good get off which could suggest a pass rushing upside.

It's going to be fun to see who ends up as DT 1.

Here's a question. Which of the top 5 would you take ahead of Mason Graham?

manxman2601 · Friday at 4:25 AM

Combing PFF again. The top sack merchants at DT is quite interesting. The top 3, all with 7 sacks, are

Mario Landino - Indiana
Tyrique Tucker - Indiana
and...
Jide Abasiri - USC

It's interesting that Indiana's guys are so high. The only issue is size. Landino is only 288lbs while Tucker is listed at only 6' which probably means 5'11".

I honestly didn't know Abasiri was tops among sackers but reinforces why I'm high on him.

BTW, Will Echoles is next with 6.

Considering his passion for prospects with lots of vowels, I think I've found an ideal prospect for Mayo.

The 2 Indiana guys are big effort guys which is a top Cignetti trait.

Malcolm Alcorn-Crowder, SMU (frmly Kansas State)
6-6, 305

I watch the below clips and I don't really see anything that overly excites me except his size - he looks bigger. Bigger than the 305 he's listed at. However, Crowder has the BEST pass rush win rate on TPS of any DT in the class so there must be something there.And there's no small margin either.

Alcorn-Crowder - 30.4

The next best recognisable DT

Tavion Gadson - 27.7
Mateen Ibiroga - 23.7
Ahmad Moten - 20.0

Just to give some perspective.

"Logologo" - I dub him "Word".

Love it.

IDK that I would rank any above Mason Graham going into the year. He was a consensus top 10 pick, probable top 5 at this time 2 years ago.

I do think Will Echoles' game compares well with Graham. I also think that Justin Scott, David Stone and A'Mauri Washington have more explosiveness and athleticism.

Right now DT and LB are my 2 favorite position groups, which makes me very, very happy.
