Shawn Oakman

What do you guys think about him? If he had come out last year he had a chance to be a top 10 pick. People seem to have cooled on him. He's not been as dominant, but he's a physical monster and the potential is enormous. Still racking up some pretty good stats, too.

I know that the mystery AFC executive said he wouldn't touch him in the first three rounds, but him, Hageman, Jarrett and Soliai could be great on running downs.

Oakman is a physical specimen but he struggles with pad level and due to his height I don't know if that can be fixed. I've seen him give up on a lot of plays and he tends to disappear for long periods of time in a game. He's got potential and all the physical tools but he's yet to put it together. Even if he declared last year I'm not sure he gets picked inside the first let alone a top 10 pick. I don't remember anyone ever calling the guy a top 10 pick.

Somebody's going to take a chance on him, but I'm not impressed. He looks like a complete freak of nature in uniform, but he is totally invisible every time I see Baylor play. I'm not hopeful for him at the next level.

He kind of reminds me of the kid that came out of Michigan State a few years ago, Gholston, that I thought would be an impact guy at the next level. So far he's been a pretty good run defender in Tampa but not a splash guy.

He went from really overrated to really underrated fast. 2nd rounder.

Armstead has been killing it with SF and Buckner was the better of the two imo. He should be the freakishly big DL everyone is excited about.
