Dwan negotiation update: No movement

[OneBadCat]

Are there any new updates with Dwan?

[RockyTopVol]

I can't understand the Richardson hate. Are you just nervous because of past DTs busting? He is a great talent, and I think he'll do well in the league.

I dont like him because he gets shoved around way too easily. He would get gashed in the run. He looks more like a pass rushing 3-4 DE to me.

He's going to get pushed around in the NFL unless he adds weight... I want us to take a DT in the first or second but I want one that won't get ran over

In addition to the fact that Richardson is ancient by college prospect standards, there isn't a lot about his game, at his build, that looks like it will result in him being a good NFL DT. I know the media likes to project him to us in their mocks so they can save their more glorified prospects for their beloved NFC east teams and such, but I really don't think he's the pick. We've shown zero interest in him or any other DT prospect and Rivera has been relatively easy enough to read in his time here.

Wouldn't touch Floyd either.

The fact that we haven't shown any interest in DTs in free agency pretty much confirms to me it has to be the pick. Are we going to go into the season with Fua and *checks roster* Colin Cole?

Wouldnt touch Floyd? Can I ask why? He is a very good person, he is able to penetrate constantly. He would be a great 3tech and he really reminds me a lot of Jenkins without the baggage

That said if he was there at 14 I would take him, But what I really want is a trade down and Jesse Williams or John Jenkins. I value that 1 tech more

[XClown1986]

Sharrif Floyd is going to be great. Him and Star are head and shoulders above the rest of the DT class.

[Growl]

Why would I care what kind of person he is? Were drafting football players not lining them up for mystery dates. I don't care if he has some ridiculous story of triumph if he can't play.

I wouldn't touch Floyd because he's Richardson without as much burst, refinement, or even as much production.

plus when I watch Floyd I get bored watching him get stood up and pushed around over and over again

He went to Florida. He has a story. He has athleticism. This is why his stock has risen.

[The Golden Child]

There's not much out there on the DT FA market. Corey Williams, Alan Branch, Sedrick Ellis, Sione Pouha, Sen'Derrick Marks.

[Keep Pounding]

I guess he is visiting the Phins.

In the 1st rd you dont want to take a player that has many red flags as far as drugs, work ethic, injury issues. Save those risks for late rd projects and fliers

He has proven to pass all of those and be a better penetrating DT than any other player. He was my favorite player at the DT position then everyone else fell in love with him over his workouts which pushed him too high for the Panthers. He has shown that he has the desire to play and works hard, he is very family oriented showing his character. All these things are just as important whether you think it or not.

Tell me film where he is being pushed around? He is constantly in backfield for much of the film I have studied, watch the Louisville game where he dominated all night. Just because you like another prospect better is no reason to bash Star or Floyd which are the best 2 prospects at DT
