Mebane was a 3-tech 1-tech tweener in terms of size, but what made him good was his lightning fast reaction time and first step. That fast first step is a very rare trait for any DT, especially a big one. Seems like every DT in this class I've seen so far isn't nearly as fast off the snap.
As far as the guy you linked, looks kind of like Butter Bean. He's not very athletic, all he really has is strength and I'm guessing Red Bryant would probably have 20 sacks playing against those guards.

Write this down in your little diary, too, I think this guy sucks.sliv":2ft3r5hm said:kearly":2ft3r5hm said:I haven't really seen a true Mebane clone in this draft.

Butter Bean comment seems like lazy analysis but this is good I'm gonna copy and paste all of my pre draft threads this year so people are held accountable finally. I am not pounding the table for this guy just keeping an open mind and reminding everyone that every year self appointed draft gurus miss big this time of year. Including the good ones like Mike Maylock who said that Bobby Wagner lacked instincts. Watching the shrine game Maylock was going out of his way to say how good the Seahawks did in the draft, Hawks made alot of people look stupid this year. Jaye Howard was ranked higher the Gregg Scruggs, so come on don't just look at Espn Insider and draft scout rankings and call it a day dig deeper.

Just kidding, but a 2 minute highlight video doesn't do much. Where can I find some game footage? I tried to find anything else on the guy, he was the 28th rated DT in the 2013 class(according to NFL draftscout for CBS) and ALL MAC defensive player. 41 tackles seems a bit low for some hidden phenom, and I have to guess he racked his 12 sacks agaisnt a steady diet of MAC size guards.
I would bet dimes to dollars he is an UDFA if he gets signed at all.
Besides, sliv, you did say you were throwing it against the wall to see if it sticks. Y U pissy now?
