I actually like this pick more today than I did yesterday.

This one and the Hunt one are cool with me.

I dunno about Whitey McLinebacker yet. But he's about the same size as Emmons and his name ain't Dhani, so we've got that going for us.

This pick is fine. A big DE with some marginal rush skills can help the team and its notorious 'rotation'. It's a completely boring and vanilla pick but there's nothing WRONG with it.
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

Let them eat bootstraps.

I can deal with this pick.  It shows that they realize that they need an influx of young talent at DE and not everybody can be an athletic freak.  You need solid workman-like guys like this as well.

It's just a shame that the farging Kolb pick throws this pick and the rest of the draft in a negative light.

I don't have a problem with Abiamiri.  He's a good player and was taken where he was supposed to be taken.


Dillen

Considering who is on the DL right now, I like the Abiamiri pick. He's a lot like the 2002-ish Darren Howard. Not overly fast or quick off the ball, but is real strong and gets a decent number of sacks and play very well against the run.

Good thing he's about to come into some money.  He needs to get those motherfargers fixed.

Plays LDE. Does a good job of pursuing plays from the backside. Not the biggest or strongest, but can be stout when he extends his arms and plays with leverage. Had an outstanding play vs Michigan when he pushed back the RT and forced a run wide, then used a spin move to get off the block and make the TFL. Good motor. Good closing speed. Looks quick and athletic, but not fluid. Looks a bit gangly at times. Quick off the ball, but not explosive. Used inside move for sack vs Stanford. Used good inside move vs LSU to get pressure. Good pass rush vs Michigan when he was unblocked. Victor stayed under control as he came upfield, then used a good burst to hit Henne as he threw. Had 19 sacks over the last two years. Very cut, muscular build. Did 25 reps at the Combine. Very raw as a pass rusher. Fires upfield and also has an inside move. Needs to learn how to use his hands, how to set up blockers, and other moves. 2nd Rd player with a lot of upside. Has the frame to develop into a decent sized LDE in the NFL.

I'd have agood pass rush if I was unblocked too :o Ok, at least average if I was unblocked, I'm 34 and in the prime of my life!!!

At the risk of sounding like Spew, Abiamiri has great size for a rookie.

Yes, but how are his abs and bubble?
