That's my guy! Him and Twyman from Pittsburgh are two guys that the Bengals should look at drafting to replace Geno.
Osa reminds me of Michael Bennet with his outside/inside flexibility.

What are Twyman's dimensions?
Osa and McNeal are the two 3-techs I have been liking lately.

6-2 290 but he hasn't had any official weigh one yet. He is very similar to Geno in build.

Cool, time to bring in Geno's replacement. There are some guys that could fit the bill in this Draft.

He's basically a 4-3 3 technique who you move inside on passing downs.

Likely varies from ratings service to ratings service. The Draft Network has him at 104, late 3rd to early 4th.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

You want an Geno Atkins Clone let me introduce you to WVU's Darius Stills. Stills is 6'1 290 ish and built exactly like Geno. He is also explosive and powerful off the snap with natural leverage. Stills isnt as technically refined as Geno was coming out being at WVU instead of Georgia but he could be a dynamic interior rusher his first year and develop into an starter year two.

Awesome, just what we need. Glad there are some good 3-techs in this Draft.

Strengths
Darius Stills generally plays inside as a three-technique or a one-technique. He appears better working as a 2i with an inside shade on the guard. His quickness off of the snap and his explosive get off are tough for guards to match on the inside. He beats offensive linemen to the punch and can get to the inside shoulder quickly to turn and get the offensive lineman in a chase position. Stills is best as a pass rusher. He uses his hands really well and has a solid counter and rushes with a thought-out plan. He can be used as a pocket mover in the passing game that can penetrate up the middle and cause the quarterback to move off of his spot and get him uncomfortable. This will help outside edge rushers to get pressure on the opposing team’s quarterback.
Weaknesses
Darius Stills doesn’t lack strength but he can find himself getting stood up and being outmatched by stronger offensive linemen. His biggest struggles are in the running game when he’s trying to squeeze lanes or take on double teams. He doesn’t have the overall technique or the game-changing strength to get off of blocks consistently and make plays in the trenches. He will be used purely as a pass rusher from the interior at the next level.
Should be there in Round 4 or 5 I would think.

Sounds about right for what we need. Just don't use him on rushing downs early on is all. We need a pass rushing DT,
Stills is this type. Boogie Basham in the 2nd and Darius Stills in the 4th or 5th and our pass rush is upgraded most likely.
A draft starting out like this would be awesome IMO...
1st - Sewell
2nd - Basham
3rd - Tylan Wallace/Jaelon Darden
4th - Darius Stills
Get Thuney/Daryl Williams in FA with another 4-3 End.

Speaking of Geno Atkins Clone that Scouting Profile is damn near identical to Geno's coming out of Georgia.

Wish we could afford Dupree. The stoolers won't be able to keep him.

Thought the same thing...

That would be awesome to get Dupree while stealing him from the Stealers...
Just have to make a lot of cuts and we could afford him. Cut Geno, Gio, Finney, Hart, Uzomah and we could afford Dupree, Sheldon
Rankins and get some good OL like Scherff/Gabe Jackson and Daryl Williams/Ricky Wagner.
