I think Tafiti grows into a Vyper. He's super long and has been working all offseason on his ROLB game. He'll grow into a 6'3 240ish ROLB in time.

Would he play Buck before moving down? Or is it Day 1 Vyper like Jordan Botehlo?

Sorry about that.

My guess is that they just start him at Vyper. Most of his offseason work has been at ROLB. He seems to fancy himself as a pass rusher. I don't see them moving him off the ball just because he might take a year or two of weight room training.

Not much of a surprise here but ND made his top 8
