2016 1st round pick is Robert Nkemdiche DT

[splitsecond]

His father is a cardiologist and his mother is a politician in Nigeria. The guy has good genes. I think the worry is going to go away very quickly once the season starts.

 

[GuernseyCard]

Based on his eye popping 6 sacks for 3 years? Lol

He's more Wendell Bryant than Dockett based on his career & that's a fact

Don't confuse opinion with fact.

 

[Buckybird]

How many did Sheldon Richardson have? That position in college doesn't produce big numbers .

Have you compared Docketts #s to RNs in college? Look em up, its eye popping the difference in both players performed since peeps here are comparing the 2. Go ahead

 

[TJ]

Does anyone else worry about HB around these types? The straight road is more difficult than the alternative. Does anyone else worry about peer influence causing a setback with HB?

No

For what it's worth, RK beats Dockett in every athletic measurable I can find.

Buckybird is going full K9 on Nkemdiche

Cardinals general manager Steve Keim said the team met with Nkemdiche at the combine, on campus at Ole Miss, during a visit to Arizona and in Los Angeles on Monday.

Keim RE off-field: We spent more time with Nkemdiche than any other player. Mathieu among those who met with him. #CardsDraft

Dockett

Tackles-248
Tkl for loss-65
Sacks-12.5

RN

Tackles-81
Loss-16
Sacks 6

Anything else I can help you with?

I want to try & like this pick, but I can't based on what he did in college. This is a 1st round pick, not a 4th fellas.

All I know is 9 times out of 10 when an unproductive athletic college athlete turns pro, he doesn't all of a sudden become something different than he was at the college level.

And that wins games how? Give me a good athlete who busts his ass trying to get better all the time & knows his duties inside & out over a great athlete who does the minimum in all those same categories & I'll beat your team almost every time. The great ones eat, breath & sleep football & that's a fact!!!

There's been hundreds & hundreds of athletic freaks at the combine & other sports that didn't succeed performing them.

Great presser by BA & SK. The homework they did on Nkemdi was extensive. Amazing that they did all that work with him and yet the media never got hold of it.

Oh for christs sake we get it, you don't like the pick. You have made your opinion of this abundantly clear. Now step back and let some of us enjoy the possible positives of this pick Scrooge.

I really like this pick if he keeps his head on straight could be a steal looking forward to seeing him in a few months

I mean for the 29th pick your not going to get a player with that much more talent just glad we didn't go qb cough huckenburger sorry if I mistyped his name

 

[SoCal Cardfan]

He told Suzy Kolber he's done that already and that he is in "good hands" with the Cardinals.

Personally, I am uber-jacked about this pick. No fear.

At least he didn't try to make out with her.

 

[Big D]

Ole Miss star defensive lineman Robert Nkemdiche reportedly suffered "multiple cuts" after a fall out of a fourth-floor window in Atlanta.

Calvin Pace fully endorses this pick!!

Says the guy that wants the "great" athlete with a flat tire... lol

 

[GatorAZ]

I'm scared of taking anyone from Ole Miss. Calling that program a dumpster fire isn't doing it justice.

Who's that.

 

[Shane]

Who's that.

Really??? Lol ummm Jack

 

[Buckybird]

Really??? Lol ummm Jack

Ummmm in case you didn't read a thread I started earlier today after he openly admitted micro fracture surgery was likely in his future...I said I wouldn't touch him before round 3.

So take that Copper lol

I think he just said..... "You don't know Jack Shane!"

 

[D-Dogg]

Dude had sick threads tho. Serious.

And I do love the potential of this pick. This guy is a legit beast. We will really be testing our team program here. Is he HB or DW? He's got way more heart than DW, with the athletic freak mode of nobody else we have.

 

[Redcoyote]

Im ok with taking Diche here. Jack and Ragland were the only other two I'd consider and they both have their own concerns.

Kelly was already taken. All the 1st round CBs were taken. Lynch was taken. Clark was taken.

Ole Miss basically operates like every other SEC program, except they're awful at keeping the illicit things under wraps.

Props to LittleDavis! I've been trying to come up with a good comparison and he offers Ricky Williams. This guys a little tougher based on the damage he apparently did to that frat guy but he's truly a free spirit. Like Ricky he speaks okay about the game, but his true desire is questionable. He will be the first Cardinal player I can recall who wants to own a panther.

It's true that there's a chance this guy could be an outstanding imapct player, but he wasn't in college. He has more potential than any of the tackles, but like the man said, "Potential just means he ain't done nothing yet!"
