Nkimdiche seems just as fast as Bosa, but he's bigger & stronger. Both have had off-field issues though (and Nkimdiche is rumoured to have work-ethic issues as well).

And didn't Nkimdiche just get a concussion?

Yes, yes and yes. Hope that helps

What about pairing/reuniting Deforest Buckner with Armstead as our pocket pushing 3-4 DE's for the next several years? Buckner more refined and has the same (or even better) upside than Armstead.

He is thought to have higher upside for sure. Better at getting after the QB but isn't as strong vs the run. I would LOVE landing Buckner to pair with Armstead. It's funny, last year I was so against it, but now I know it was just the scheme Oregon runs that limited their production.

Eddie Yarbrough, Yannick Ngakoue, Jonathan Allen(converted WR), and Shaq Lawson are all mid round guys id love to see at OLB. Allen reminds me a bit of Jamie Collins with his speed and athleticism, but he seems bigger and stronger. If Mangini stays next year I could see him being a target since for some reason he likes to drop his pass rushers into coverage

That Freshman RB from Penn State is a beast.

OJ Howard TE Alabama made my "watch list". Just one of those guys who might have a big leap this year.

I've seen a bit of him, and I have to say I wasn't as impressed as most. Not much of a force blocking for a big guy, and he doesn't seem extremely light on his feet.

He didn't do much, looks like maybe an hback
