First I'll get my admitted homerism out of the way and say that I love it because he's born and raised in Hawaii. Love the player. My nephew played for the same Highschool and helped a little with coaching when Stribling was there.
Nephew had nothing but great things to say about him leading up to this draft. Amazing character; strong family, and he's a lunch pail to work blue collar work ethic. I went to only two of his games (because of my nephew coaching) but this kid is a freaking dawg man. Stood out in both. I can't see this kid busting; I don't think his work ethic and character will allow it.
All that said; I hate the value and where we picked him. I highly highly doubt anyone takes him before pick 58; but I guess there's stuff out there that McVay and the Rams may have taken him before then, who knows. Hopefully this next pick is someone most of us wanted at 33 so we can pretend that was the pick and D-Strib was the 58th. That would make me feel a lot better lol
Come on mang.....
You can't see the guy busting with his work ethic and character, then you add in legit NFL strength, Legit NFL speed and acceleration, then add in his hands, and his highlight reel at 6-2 210 and you dont think the dude is worth second rounder?
Maybe you should read again; last I checked pick 58 is in the second round
So we gonna quibble about what part of the second round, a guy you see as a sure fire NFL player. A dude who can't bust, who has elite NFL speed, with NFL size and who produced in huge games against top tier talent in college? A lunch pail, blue collar guy at a Diva position?
This seems like a weak thing to hate or doubt on.
