I mean, he's short-ish, at what, 6'1"? But pretty long arms. He runs a damned 4.5 at 280 pounds.
I mean, inside, outside, wherever, he's a mismatch. Interesting chess piece. Can you imagine him next to Jones inside on passing downs? Or both outside?
I mean, we've obviously got a need at LT this moment, but damn. Scouting reports are that he's got high football intelligence, too. Just seems like a really interesting fit. [Reply]
I'm with you on Adebawore! Mocked him in one of my offseason threads and he seems to be climbing since then. A scout referring to him as "one of the only true burners off the edge in this year's class" and I've been interested ever since. [Reply]

Interesting take.
I saw Adebawore as high as "#15-20" today, and as low as our 3rd pick. But I also heard he tested better than Kancey who's getting a lot of buzz. [Reply]
This guy stood out to me because of his combination of speed and size. Easily fits Spags description of 3-down EDGE, and then you could move him inside and he's got the quickness/power to do a good imitation of Aaron Donald. The football IQ makes this guy a really tempting target for Veach/Spags. This guy likely to fall to us? [Reply]
He doesn't come without a buyer beware tag or he'd be getting talked about much earlier. He struggles to disengage and has poor awareness. Those are legit takes. He's going to function best in a front that does a lot of stunting. KC doesn't do a lot of stunting, so you gotta coach that shit out of him. I don't think he'd be on Veach's board in round 1 but you never know. [Reply]

So, more of a project than a prospect? Meaning he probably goes somewhere in the 2nd or 3rd? [Reply]

Not necessarily. Baltimore took Oweh almost entirely on traits towards the end of 1. That said, his warts are legitimate concerns at the next level. It's tough to take those in the 1st round but all it takes is one team. [Reply]

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
You sonsabitches stay away from Rashee Rice! I was kinda hoping he'd stay under the radar and the Chiefs could scoop him up in the 2nd.
He could be an absolute stud.
There's some irony in him being compared to Aiyuk because that was a guy I loved at the back of 2 as well and he just kept rising up boards. Sooner or later we gotta get one of these guys, right? [Reply]

Rice is kinda fun, he also played an entire season with a broken toe. [Reply]

Shhhhhhhh......
He's no Josh Downs! Nathaniel Dell is way better. Why would you take him when you can take a large school standout like Mims? And man, would you look at the height/weight/speed figures for AT Perry????
Rice ain't shit. Probably shouldn't even consider him before the 3rd. [Reply]
