watched. He reminded me of Geno Atkins and is even a better run stopper than Geno was early on. He can also
rush the passer better than any of our other DT's besides Geno. He throws interior OL around like rag dolls.

I don't know why NFL.com doesn't have him rated as high as i have him but i like him better than any other DT
in this class. But this is just my opinion. Check out the guy in Bfine's first round pick thread.

He jumps off the screen to me. A guy like this besides Atkins would be amazing IMHO.

I have heard the Redskins will most likely take him before us so i am not the only one who sees him as a 1st
rounder either. That isn't even late first round.

For years now everyone was hyping Oakman, and I never saw much out of him that impressed me (as a first rounder like he was being talked about) but every time i watched for him my eye was always drawn to Billings. He was the real play maker on that line, and was huge for that defense making the jump from joke to decent. He should also get way more credit than his stats give him, he's the guy that was always affecting the play even if he didn't get to make the tackle or sack.

 He definitely has work to do, but i see him as a perfect fit next to geno long term. He can get into the backfield and stop the run. Seems like a smart and decent character kid as well. Has good strength and his size should allow him to get good leverage. 

He's could be the well rounded DT to pair with Geno that we've all wanted for quite some time now. And if Geno went down again our line might still stand a chance with Billings there. I think he'd be a nice piece of the rotation in year one, and then be ready to take over for Peko as starter next season and really take off.
