Asiata is what happens when you are raised well...
He's already a lock as Adam Gas's man crush this year. ****, mine too.
Asiata looks good. Why did he last until the 5th round with so many teams needing to improve O-lines?
The guards really fell in this draft. That coupled with his age (25 in December) is the only thing I can think of. No real injury concerns. His age doesn't bother me because he's ready to go now; not a 2-3 year developmental plan.
I know Dorian fell because of a medical condition.
My gut tells me that Asiata will be one of those diamonds in the rough, like ZT, whose selection will keep paying dividends for at least a decade. He's got the skillset, the work ethic/attitude and really seems to be a player who can turn into a fan favorite. Say what you will about Incog, but who didn't get a kick out of him flashing the the Jets bench and Rex the bird? Asiata strikes me as another team-first player. I wanted Lamp and then Feeney, and I think both will be Dallas OL level studs but Asiata is a very nice consolation prize!
Richie Incognito was the 1st player I thought of with true nastiness when I saw those clips.

Really cool interview with Asiata. http://www.ksl.com/?sid=44072628&nid=635
He seems like a stud. I love the energy he plays with for a G. Much better than the bump on a log Dallas Thomas.

Incognito was as much nasty as he was dirty. Asiata is a truck.

Is it me or can you guys watch that over and over? lol
That man is a massive beast.
Samoans are so damn strong!! Love it
Over under on how many days before he gets in a scrap with a defensive lineman during camp.
Get them all signed ASAP and let's kick some ****ing ass.

Not really. Better fed than Tannehill's wife, but not prettier.

Couldn't agree more with the consensus. I really enjoyed the quotes about how he really wanted to be a Dolphin after he visited and met Gase, etc. He really believed in the program and Miami was his hope.
The nasty prick quote is going to live on..and on.
I sort of like that about Grier. He's a football man, not a PR guy. He's nuts and bolts football. He's not here to be up on the stage saying all the best public relations stuff to win the press conference. He's a football guy 100%. There are plenty of losers who sound good on a podium.

Picture Philbin using the word prick. I love that Grier just busted out with it! He went up points in my book in likeability.
