[G08]

Aaron Maybin could be an intriguing choice, but he's vastly undersized as of right now. Really, I think it's going to boil down to Maclin (if he's there), Moore (if he's there), or whoever is highest on our draft board of Brown, Johnson, Maybin.

[wab]

Yeah, Maybin is only about 230. He;s gonna have to bulk up if he wants to play anything other than part-time rush LB in a 3-4

[G08]

They say he's got the frame to add that much weight and not lose speed/athleticism. I don't know if I prefer him to Michael Johnson right now... but I'm sure that'll change before April comes around.

[gaba]

How big was Dwight Freeney when he came into the league?

[RING4CHI]

How big was Dwight Freeney when he came into the league?

266 pounds.

[gaba]

I could have sworn he was smaller than that. Am I thinking of someone else?

[G08]

Freeney was short (6'1") but he always weighed over 255 lbs.
