I wonder how their college production matches up. He would be a good trade down target.

Edit: Donald blows him out of the water.
He does but Donald also played a Senior season. Maybe Kancey puts up even bigger numbers if he sticks around one more year.

Who knows at this point. I wouldn't take him at three but I'd consider him on a trade down. Very productive and great tape. Similar play style to Donald in college.

Tonnes of Donald comps around now. The one thing I'd say is that I don't see Donald's strength in Canceyor the same quick feet. Completely different body type too.

Siaki Ika has bombed.

I thought he might go late 1st in a weak DT class but his testing has been awful. May be round 3 now.

No, I actually factored that in. Donald's numbers still blew his away. Doesn't mean he can't be a good (or great) player, but similar numbers would've really made him pop.

Donald's junior year was better but not crazy better. Donald really exploded his senior year.

Are you talking about the same NFL+ app that let me watch the Cards play on my phone and iPad this year? I thought that app was just for the games. SMH. Just last week I paused that app because the season and games were over. Thx.
Still there & functioning

Big guys don't always test well. If he is around in round 3, I sprint to the podium.

I wouldn't touch him at 34 just because I really like the IOL in this draft and if one of the top 3-4 guys are available, I'm going that way. Torrence, Avila, Schmitz, etc. Though I'd be tempted to trade down in round 2, take Tippmann instead and add a later pick.

Ika looked rough on agility, but he’s not a penetrator; he’s an anchor. He wouldn’t be expected to do well in those agility drills. On the other hand he did look less than well conditioned. I suspect he still goes late round 2. Guys who were considering him weren’t likely dismayed. On the plus side Bresee was outstanding. If his medical go well, I think he’s mid-round 1. If the Cards move down, he’d have to be considered, tremendous athlete at his size. If the Cards trade down, they might actually drop twice, so that would put them in his range.

Yeah I wasn't expecting him to run 4.8 but as you say he looked unconditioned. He was strongly in the top of round 2 range but I reckon he's dropped 20-30 spots.

Bresee did very well.
