[Wundrbread33]

I have no opinion since I know nothing about this guy. I am all for adding a big powerful FB though.

Was wondering wtf this pick was but makes sense if converting to FB. I literally know nothing about him but I imagine the goal is a ST player and hope he can turn into a good FB

[davos]

I'm not going to pretend I gave a look at the FB prospects.  Seems like our new Richie Brockel.

Sounds like a fullback to me:

As the season ended and the time came to prepare for a potential pro career, Armah faced a question: Where should he try to play? He figures he’s too small to be a 4–3 defensive end, so his main college position is probably out. But the answer is easy to figure out after asking Armah one question.

Which of the following feels the best?

A) Scoring a touchdown.

B) Sacking the quarterback.

C) Making a huge tackle on defense.

D) Obliterating a linebacker with a lead block.

“If that collision happens in the hole with that ’backer, I love that,” Armah said. “I live for that.”

"Armah didn’t get invited to the combine, but his pro day numbers (4.68-second 40, 26 reps, 34.5-inch vertical jump) should help. His bench press total would have made him the second-strongest back at the combine behind Oklahoma’s Samaje Perine, and his 40 time stacks up favorably against pure fullbacks such as Florida State’s Freddie Stevenson."

"Pumped out 26 bench reps. Has experience as in-line blocker against bigger foes. Has desired demeanor to be a blocker. Has athleticism in space and is a viable consideration as blocker/pass-catcher in two-back scheme."

still need a 2nd TE 

[*FreeFua*]

How anyone saw the pick and thought we drafted a defensive end is sad, think for a second.

We so badly needed a FB this is good!

[Thama]

Looks like a FB/TE combo blocker, possible Dickson replacement.

All of us are like "who the fug is this?" but watch this kid start at FB and get 20+ snaps a game.
