This kid is a beast. He is all over the field and hits like a mac truck. He has made several big plays game 2 vs Cincinnati, despite suffering from severe leg cramps.

Is he related to Bennie and Brian?

Yes. The Canes made a terrible mistake missing on this kid, but he said he wanted to go to a different school and make his own name. In the end, there was probably nothing they could do.

Ironic as MLB has been a problem for the Canes since Vilma left.

Good backup candidate. I wouldn't want to draft him in the 2nd or 3rd round and count on him starting at MLB.

The Bills let Fletcher go because he was undersized (and nearing the end of his career). Why would they draft a similar player to replace him?

MLB in this draft is quite weak. After Willis, then you might have David Harris and a stretch with Buster Davis (another Fletcher-sized MLB). I hope the Bills either get Willis or keep Crowell in the Middle and get a very good prospect for the outside.

As soon as this thread was bumped I knew it was a matter of time before trey stepped in ;)

I think, at least from what I can see from his measured running times this off season, he doesn't have the speed we are looking for in this defense. He may be one of those guys that plays faster in pads, but I have no other real way of judging him.

they ran on a lot of ppl last year.You beat me to it. Ray diced Louisville and Okoye is a top 10-15 pick more than likely.

Well, last I knew, there were 11 people on defense, not just 1. Sooo...the argument about Rice dicing up people doesn't exactly apply to individual players.
