You're right. Nassib doesn't have Buckner's thickness. However, he's almost 6'7. He's a guy with plenty of frame to get stronger, which he will because he has one of the best work eithics & attitudes you'll ever want to see in an NFL player. He's like Justin Smith (who was 6'4 270 BTW). He has the "stats are for losers" attitude.

Nassib just reminds me of a taller Pierce Holt!!

awesome!!!
Haven't seen much love for this guy lately, but I'd like him at the back end of the 2nd/3rd if possible. Perfect team player.

People have him going in the 3rd to 4th round. He may used as a OLB at first for rushing the passer. Unlike tank he maybe able to transition to 3-4 DE because of his size (6-7). Bring him along slowly. This is Tanks last year.
