BUT... I still see a guy who is at best a "eh, he's OK" option as a pass defender. His instincts are next level and I think they play him up until he starts to decline physically.
But if he's fooled, or pulled out of position by his assignment, he just doesn't have the raw speed/range to recover quickly. And he's still pretty limited as a pass defender.
I just don't see how you can pay him big money on a long-term deal when that's the case.
Depends on what he's asking, but I assume it's going to be more than I'm comfortable with.
I like those DT names just fine. And Egbuka is a 6-1/200 guy and comes from a program that has done a good job developing guys who can win inside and out.
Depends on the price, but I'm not super interested. He's a one-trick pony, and I want more versatility than that.

Good point on the program. I maybe have some slight reservations about how effectively he really beats man and I wonder if he's as fast as some suggest, but yeah, I'd still love him late in the 1st. He'd be a helluva grab.
