He had fantastic powerlifting numbers, and was simply able to outmuscle most of his competition in college. I think with him, it's truly a technique issue. NFL OL just aren't going to get bullrushed, play after play. In my opinion, this team should strongly consider trading for an effective NT, or put some serious consideration on taking one at the top of the draft. Even if that means trading up in the 1st round, in order to land the right man.
They got extremely lucky when Geno Atkins fell to them in the 4th round, 8 years ago. Since then, every single DT that they have drafted has turned into a bust. I'm sure that there are quality guys to be drafted in rounds 2-4, but do we have the talent identifiers that can recognize who they are? (scouts, positional coaches)
In another thread, you mentioned Glascow. I believe we really miss him in the rotation.
