MichaelWeston Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 BG v PittI am a BG football fan. The 3 guys I would take long looks at are Boo-Boo, Chief and Bayer. Bayer is a very good pass catching TE, won't stretch the seem but has a Heath Miller type feel. Chief is a Juco transfer at C who is a real leader on the line. Don't think he is a real upgrade here but I wouldn't be surprised if he was a starter in the league at some point (or never makes a team). Boo-Boo is who I am most interested in, former LB who also returns kicks for BG. Would fit very well in the Nickel LB role Taylor Mays was playing.BGBoo-Boo Gates S 5'10⅞" 221 30 26Chief Kekuewa OC 6'1⅞" 319 30 29Aaron Foster S 5'11⅛" 208 30 69Dominic Flewellyn OG 6'1⅜" 290 30 75Ted Ouellet DT 6'2¾" 278 30 87Alex Bayer TE 6'4¼" 260 20 62Jairus Campbell DT 6'4¾" 307 20 122Cam Truss CB 5'10¼" 181 20 142Shaun Joplin WR 6'1½" 204 20 212PittAaron Donald DT 6'0½" 281 87 4 33Devin Street WR 6'2½" 189 61 18 127Tom Savage QB 6'3¾" 245 36 15 213Matt Yoklic PT 6'2½" 211 30 7Jason Hendricks S 5'10⅝" 180 30 51Tyrone Franklin Ezell DT 6'2⅞" 306 30 65Cory King OT 6'4½" 320 30 67Kay Williams CB 5'9¼" 190 30 74Ed Tinker WR 5'11½" 196 30 103Utah St v N IllinoisUtah StTyler Larsen OC 6'3½" 312 35 7 215Jamie Markosian OG 6'1⅝" 295 30 30Nevo Lawson CB 5'10" 184 30 40D.J.

happyrid Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 Aaron Donald of Pitt intrigues me. He is undersized but has some really long arms. Uses his hands extremely well. We don't really need another DT, but he could be a good one. He also might be fast enough to play some DE like Wallace Gilberry. Probably won't be a Bengal but I love him as a player. Like Geno, he will be drafted lower than he should be due to lack of height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelWeston Posted December 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 Nice. I love what I have read about him. I assumed he would go in the first or second and didn't notice his height. He would be a great pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who knows, maybe lightning will strike twice and he'll fall like Geno did -- but I'd be shocked if he made it to the third. Still, I think with Geno's success a lot of teams will be looking for his comparison, and this guy is the closest thing to that in a while.

He's definitely intriguing if we just went best player available. Here is a short highlight video. Maybe it is just me, but it looks like he has the arms of a 6'5 guy despite him being short http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45O_bC8SKtE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just been so impressed by his motor, his open field agility and change of direction to bring down shifty RB's and QB's, and the bull rush to boot.

JC Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 I didn't watch much, but they said Donald didn't do much tonight. I caught the end when he had a huge sack for Pitt though. I'm all for making this defense even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for making this defense even better. He was double and triple teamed most of the game, and actually got pretty frustrated by it. But that last sack was amazing, partly bc it was the play that sealed the game, but also because he lined up at DE, and beat the tackle with a speed rush and dip with a lean that rivals the elites in the game. Dude is a player. Don't laugh, but after seeing him do that I suddenly thought there is a player in the league that he could remind me of even more than Geno: James Harrison. Same height and weight - although I don't think he carries it quite the same way haha... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
