Well, when you're standing next to a former QB who is 6'5", I imagine most will look tiny. Fleck is average height for a man, but he was a short WR, which is why he likely didn't stick in the NFL.

battle2heaven Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I think Gabriel says dumb things but he's probably right about this. With interior pass rush a pressing need, has Adebawore worked his way to the 23rd pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's extremely versatile having logged snaps at 4i/5T and a stand up role. Just wonder if that's now redundant with the Davenport signing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like planning for the future since Davenport is only here for 1 year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With interior pass rush a pressing need, has Adebawore worked his way to the 23rd pick? I stated this before . . . Everyone's singing Kancey's praises and comparing him to Aaron Donald, when in reality, his college production matches Ade's. Neither blew up the Shrine or Senior Bowl weeks like Donald did. Given his size/reach/seed/strength combo, Ade's way ahead and would be my choice at #23 if none of the high-end CBs are left. The Vikings could try trading down and still land him, but if this guy's truly a .96-scale JJ Watt, why wouldn't ya draft him at #23? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could make for some nice pressure packages from Flores. I certainly would not hate the pick at 23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, for any college program, if you can put kids into the draft pretty regularly, that will only help recruiting down the road. And they've been starting to finally do that under Fleck, with 5 in 2020, 2 in 2021 and 4 last year. I think they'll get at least 2 this year again with JMS and Terell Smith pretty much guaranteed to go fairly early (as in the first 3-4 rds) and chances are that Mo and Howden go late.
