This pick goes in perfect harmony with the thread.

I was just about to say the same. Sailor knew something, called him a place holder and left. LOL

Appears according to all the sports sites he has never played football. No where to be found. That is why the broadcast didn't talk about him they didn't know anything about him. HA HA

A 1 tech, possible replacement for McDonald as Mebane's backup. Middle Tennessee State guy. Not a lot of info available.

 

[Smurf]

6'4 303....Replacement for big red.

Team site....

 

[White Devil]

ESPN has him as a DT at 6'4" 300 - http://espn.go.com/college-football/pla ... mmy-staten

CBSSports has him listed as a DE at 6'5" 303 - http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootbal ... mmy-staten

So nobody knows, big body, run stuffer, lane clogger

After watching the War Room stream I get the feeling they were targeting Reaser or Powell

Much of Staten’s anxiety and draft status hinge on what position he will play. Currently at 6-foot-4 ½ and 310 pounds, he could play defensive tackle in a 4-3 scheme. But if he is picked up by a team with a 3-4 scheme, Staten would likely bump his weight up to between 320 and 330 pounds to play nose tackle.

“I don’t mind doing that. It won’t be hard because I can gain weight and I love eating,” said Staten, a powerful weight-lifter who did 30 reps of the 225-pound bench press at Pro Day.

Awesome Strong kid who loves to eat!

 

[Rainger]

WOW a 5th round on someone no one including all the networks etc have ever heard of. OMG the FO are Jedi Masters.

 

[Seafan]

Did Tom Cable interview this guy?

 

[Atradees]

From a Packers sight -"He’s already visited the Chargers and Patriots and also has a trip to Kansas City planned.

The interest around the league lies in this — 6-3, 311 pounds.

You can’t teach fat, my friends."


hahah

From the pic's he looks like a Pete 5 technique guy....but who knows...only Pete.

 

[chris98251]

Had a lot of interest from multiple teams so he has something people saw. This years Jesse Williams maybe, teach and condition for next year.

 

[IndyHawk]

He is an unknown but he could be the next Hawk HOF for all we know..Not all of those came from big name schools and hyped up by media..

STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES

STRENGTHS: Naturally strong man who posted 30 reps at 225 pounds at his pro day. Good agility for his size, with a 27-inch vertical jump. If he proves to have enough bulk without losing his quickness, Staten offers scheme versatility as a backup at multiple positions.

Most random guy taken in the draft so far. How awesome would it be if PC can coach up this kid into a good player. Lesss go!

 

[City Of Reign]

So is it Jimmy Static or Jimmy Neuphone?

 

[SomersetHawk]

Are we sure this guy isn't going to be our Oline convert? Seems a bit early for that though.

 

[MB12]

I love the way barely anyone knows that much about this guy. Typical JS+PC

Picked in the lucky 5th as well !
