re: Is Rankins undersized?

It's about what you would expect. Glad to see you think you are stronger than many of the NFL draft prospects. Everyone knows professional athletes are "weak as frick." You're just as strong as heisman winning power running back Derrick Henry!

Rankins is a great pick

Yeah Nkemdiche is a great athlete and all that.
But he's not the best DLman in this draft. Go look at his stats. Most tackles in a season was 28. Most sacks was 3. That is horrible production for any full time starting DT, and even worse for someone with Nkemdiches size, talent, and athleticism. The dude never hit 30tackles in a season.
Yes, he's got great size and athleticism and all that, but he never played like it. And is flat out a weird dude with off the field issues.

I really am afraid so. Not that Rankins won't be good, but this is why teams with many needs should trade back for more picks.

I have a if a tree falls in a forest sort of question for you. If everyone trades back, who trades up? And if everyone towards the front of the draft is trying to trade back what is the value of a pick towards the front of the draft? Remember increased supply means decreased value.

This is an extremely stupid way to look at it. Good try, but trading up and back is all relative to your teams current state and needs.

You are an extremely stupid way to look at it, troll. What team towards the front of the draft doesn't have "many needs?"

They could still have traded back. Take what you can get. Second and early third day picks fill holes and even become stars.

Easier said than done. It takes 2 teams to do a trade. And according to CSP, we didn't have any offers.
Can't trade back if nobody wants to trade up.

You don't get it. It takes 2 teams to trade. Someone has to want what you have and be willing to pay for it. This isn't madden.

Aaron Donald and John randle. Don't get caught up in the measurables
Posted on 4/29/16 at 12:35 am to VetteGuy
Anthony Johnson was less than 2 inches taller and about 10lbs heavier and was considered a physical specimen at DT.

Rankins is not only undersized, he has short arms. He flails his arms around to disengage because once the OL has his hands on Sheldon, he's done.

Aaron Donald is the same size and Is amazing.
Posted on 4/29/16 at 1:18 am to UptownnMike
Rankins and Donald aren't comparable. Donald is 20x the athlete Rankins is. I'm not saying he can't be very good, but Donald is much more athletic.
