Alim McNeil might be the biggest sleeper in this draft class. I hadn’t really heard of him before the draft but he is a freak athlete that many team we hoping would fall to them. Guy had offers to go to blue blood colleges but wanted to state close to home. Lucky for us because he would have been long gone if he went to an Alabama or LSU.

Yup - appears we got exactly what we wanted in him. Just saw an article that was saying he was a steal literally. Article was about us “sniping a player from the Eagles”
Our DL will be an actual strength, instead of a “strength”.
He’s got quickness of a smaller man. To me, his play sort of looks like if Shawn Rogers and Jerry Ball had a kid…it would be Alim McNeil. He is high floor high ceiling, IMO. Love it.
Kinda like a bigger Booger McFarland.
let’s hope he doesn’t line up against a Neti Pot then
He has a Grady Jarrett comp…if that happens…HOLY SHIT.
Having similar measurables to Aaron Donald is always a good thing!!!
Good grief, there isn’t enough bleach on the planet to clean that image out of my head.
He’s much bigger than Grady.
This.
Fooled us all.
We were so used to getting patchwork solutions to the DL from Quinn - that somehow we thought Penisini et al was a strength.
Heyyyyyyyoooooooh
