He's 34, but if they don't get a NT early in the draft and instead maybe draft a "project" NT in a later round, perhaps Pouha could serve as a stopgap.

Just an idea, not saying they need to go out and get him if he's cut.

Something like this could be good if we grab a NT like Brandon Williams in the draft.

I really like Williams as a later round NT (probably 3rd) but he may not be ready right away. A one-year deal with a vet like Pouha could be a good transition.

I like this logic - pairing a solid vet with a young player like Brandon Williams.

A slightly younger option would be Isaac Sopoaga from San Francisco.  Doesn't hurt that Gamble brought him in too.

Yeah I was going to make a topic about Sopoaga. Should really be an interesting offseason.

He is not injury prone.

And yes he is 34, but he's also cheap and can be stop-gap for a young NT that they draft like Kwame Geathers

Well it doesn't matter anyway since they're probably signing the 49ers NT
