The closer the draft gets, the better he looks. What do you guys think? Am I just buying into the hype? he was impressive with Miami and Kyper now has him as the #1 DT over Harris in his mock draft.
Personally I'd love to see a trade that would get us Wilfork and a 2nd rounder for the #5.

My concern with Wilfork, or any player who has a history of conditioning issues, is that if you can't keep your weight down while eating on an NCAA per diem, a multi-million dollar signing bonus isn't going to make you switch to salads.
Put it another way - if you don't have the willpower to show up at the combine in shape, how can a team expect you to take your conditioning seriously? Wilfork apparently shed a lot of weight before the combine, which is good, but I'd definitely want to check up on him before I drafted him, with his history.
