I received a text on this from ESPN. The compensation is reported to be a 7th round pick this year. This has not been confirmed anywhere else yet.
Here is his bio. 6-7 310 pounds. He is 24 years old

More depth on the defensive line.
Well after 15 years Bettman lets hockey come back to Winnipeg. Thanks for wasting 15 years
I tried to find his combine numbers at Draftscout and came up dry.
well, now that we've given (rumored) a 7th round pick for the guy, he now must out performer Davone Bess. Sparano can just look at him and say, "why did we give a 7th for you again?" Then he can point to Bess and say, "We got that guy for free. You've got some catching up to do."
Give the dude some cheeseburgers with extra mayo, smack him on the ass, and tell him to go out and clog up the middle!

Tanking is like taking a Greyhound bus cross-country. Sure, it may eventually get you where you want to go, but it’s messy and unpleasant and uncomfortable, it stinks, the entire time you’ll be wishing you weren’t there, and not everybody along for the ride is going to make it to the end. - Quote stolen from Deadspin
Interesting... probably nothing more than a depth move here. I cant seem to find much info out there on this guy. So, who knows really I guess.

1972 Miami Dolphins-The ONLY undefeated team in NFL history!!!
I'm doubtful it's just a rumor, 'cause I don't think anyone who would make such a thing up would go with Tony McDaniels.
This guy is probably our #4DE behind Starks, Merling, and Langford.
Very strong but has little to no technique. Just tries to out muscle everyone. Jack Del Rio spoke highly of him when he came in to camp as an UDFA but it sounds like he never did learn. Its interesting because the Jaguars were going to start him after Stroud got suspended for using steroids but McDaniels got injured.
To me he is competition for Soliai, they had some film on him and pulled the trigger..maybe...we've all been torched before by these rumors.

I'd imagine he's too tall to play NT.

I don't know ... Jason Ferguson is 6'3 ... and Kris Jenkins is 6'4. He seems a bit of a behemoth to slide out to DE, where we've got a pair of good youngsters already.
He is to effing tall. He is going to get abused by all undersized Linemen. Is he play 3-4 End? Does anyone have information about how explosive he is?
sucks we gave up a pick for a udfa

maybe we're switching to goalline base defense. go ahead New England and Buffalo, keep loading up on receivers. we'll just keep adding fat guys and mediocre defensive backs.
Well he got a 20 from Scouts Inc.
20: Developmental Player
A player with very little film to evaluate ... A guy who might show "flashes" in the preseason but does not have any regular-season views ... He has very little experience but he has to be tracked due to his developmental potential.
I'd like to think that defensive line coach Kacy Rodgers had something to do with this move. He coached in the state of Tennesee for a while and hes' familiar with the Tennessee talent pool I'd assume. He may have recruited him while he was the defensive line coach at Arkansas in '02. McDaniels I think came to Tennessee in ''02 or 03.

Yeah but I think 6'7 is a bit tall. He wouldn't be able to get under the pads of blockers and wouldn't be able to get low.

on passing downs if he was willing to take the shot he would be a serious menace to passes over the middle with a wingspan like he has.
Thats what I say what a stupid move.
