True. But Eli Harold was projected as a high to mid 2nd rd pick that year. We got him in the early 3rd and most (including myself) thought he was a steal.

yeah same here. He was projected in the first round and we got him in the 3rd, so i gues everyone thought he would've been a steal. but looking back it looks like a reach

Yeah I was fooled into it that year, thought we got a steal with Eli in the 3rd... only a few picks in front of Danielle Hunter

Just goes to show that after any draft fans should relax and let the guys prove whether they were worth the selection.

Seems like every year we have fans(not necessarily just here) screaming someone was a steal and that guy does jack n chit in the NFL and other guys are "could've had him 2 rounds later" or "awful pick"...and those guys end up being great starters.

We all have our favorites but after any player is drafted by us I hope they go on to be studs no matter my opinion pre-draft.

There has got to be better players than Armstrong in the draft. He is eager, gets involved, but most of the time seems lost.

Armstrong's position responsibilities were changed this year. Look at his tape from last year. This guy is a beast.

What game? I saw the OU 2016 game and he still looked the same. This guy is a 6th rounder IMO.

Teach this guy to use his hands, and he could be a force. But is he coachable? Never know with these guys.

Dorance Armstrong has Aldon like length...can't wait to see him run...

6-3 5/8" 257lb, 34 6/8" arms, 10" hands and a wingspan of 83" or that of a 6-9" player.

That's not "Aldon-like length." Aldon had 35 3/8" arms.

And that length is wasted. Armstrong may as well be an amputee because he doesn't use his hands whatsoever.

The legend of Rod Marinelli grows yet again because he appears to be working his magic on Armstrong now. He looks like a completely different player from college. They're teaching him how to rush with a plan and have him using more hand technique than he ever demonstrated in college. We'll see if it translates to the games, but he's looked mighty impressive during camp.

That rush he had against Darryl Willaims last week--I thought it was Demarcus Lawrence until I saw the number. The stab-forklift technique was cold.

He is looking tremendous at camp. They have quite the stable of passrushers. Maybe tank becomes expendable with continued development of Armstrong and taco

wishful thinking but Armstrong showing flashes of rediculous bend
