Draft Crush: Boye Mafe

[shaq]

This is my favorite sleeper/favorite player this draft cycle. Boye Mafe is an amazing EDGE prospect rising up boards. High character and freak athlete. He steadily improved throughout his time at Minnesota. If we lose Hassan this off-season, this would be an ideal replacement. He is a bigger EDGE around 270 and still is gifted with the speed our defense is built on. If Phil Snow wants to get bigger at the D-line he should be pounding the table for Mafe. All measurements were from prior to the start of the college season. His numbers could improve even greater then these already freakish numbers. Most people have him around the early 3rd round range but in my eyes he is a first round talent. But with Edge being a positional strength this year he could fall steeply.  Please check him out great kid, team player, and oh boy he’s fun to watch such an explosive player.

Height- 6’4

Interesting.

Here's one thing for sure... Senior Bowl OL as a whole were highly disappointing.

Agreed, I partially think it has to do with how strong of a d-line group they were facing. Jermaine Johnson, Boye Mafe, Kingsley Enagbare to name a few.

THAT 40 Time blows it for me.  (I am sure you meant 4.57)
