Bobby Richardson fell out of the draft and landed as a starter.

All these shite threads of what's wrong with this player or that player, how about one about what's right. ...anyone have the dope on why Richardson fell in the draft? He's basically the big reason Hicks was pushed out. The guy was supposed to be a 3rd or 4th round prospect. There's no bad behavior I can see attached to his history.
Anyhow, all the energy focused on Hicks should be centered around this guy. What ride for him, and hasn't really been a focus of the local sports media.

He's the starter by default. Who else do we have our line is pathetic? That being said, hope he steps up and plays well.

Not exactly, due to the fact that he's been playing better than Hicks when he's been in.

Uhhhh no he's not the starter by default . He took Hicks spot. He balled out in training camp preseason, and in the limited snaps he received during games.

I wanna say it had something to do with arm length or his height? He was considered a good player I know, I read something about why he fell but can't remember what it was.

He's got a positive run grade, negative pass rush grade. Should improve.

Sorry I forgot Hicks was playing so great before we traded him for a bag of peanuts

What has Richardson done in the games to make him stand out? Did I miss a big play he made?

People were very surprised he wasn't drafted
nfl draft profile
Maybe its a tweener thing but he showed a lot in camp/preseason
Davison is being forgot about too

Strengths
Athletic big man with plus agility. Has great coordination between hands and feet. Has long arms and works his hands inside. Looks to shed blocker quickly against the run. Plays with stronger base than expected for his size and doesn't give blockers a squared target for long. Played defensive end in Indiana's 3-4. Fires upfield with desired burst and plays on lineman's edge as pass rusher. Relentless motor with a desire to get his licks in on the ball carrier as often as he can. Eyes stay on the prize. Almost always finds and chases running backs and quarterbacks no matter how far across field. Uses quick spin move to free himself from contact or to come underneath on his pass rush. Team captain. Blocked a field goal and two extra points during time at Indiana.
Weaknesses
Lacks desired height of 3-4 end and desired mass of a 4-3 defensive tackle. Might not be clean fit for some defenses and could limit teams who have him prioritized on draft board. Shows some hesitation when asked to change directions to tackle running backs. Misses more tackle opportunities than he should. Must develop a game plan as a rusher rather than relying on just his athleticism and hand usage. Gets gap-happy and will lose leverage against run.
Draft Projection
Round 3 or 4
Sources Tell Us
"He's a good prospect and with those long arms, that makes him a taller player than his listed height the way we do things. I don't worry about his fit because everyone runs so many sub-packages now. Just go get a guy with athleticism who can be disruptive. That's him." -- AFC area scout
NFL Comparison

Bottom Line
Richardson's tape is full of plays and near plays thanks to his outstanding pursuit and his ability to shed and find the ball quickly. While he lacks the desired height to play defensive end in an odd front, his length and outstanding work with his hands give him a shot at that spot. He has enough strength and room for more bulk to project inside in an upfield 4-3 defense. Richardson's athleticism and hand usage make him an ascending prospect with starter potential.

Nobody gives a shite about you giving away your tickets.. I didn't give away my tickets and had a great night in the dome while you hung out by yourself.

It will all go by soon if you just shut up and eat your crow. Now tell the board how wrong you were about Bobby Richardson.
