I saw at KFFL.com he has visits scheduled with the Vikings and Cowboys.

I am kind of intrigued with Akiem Hicks from Canada. 6-5-,324, 4.98/40. Mammoth player with elite measurables, light feet, and impressive length. However, he is extremely raw. Long arms (35") and a wingspan of 84". Surprising atheletic ability for a player his size. Rare movement skills, explosive hitter. He would be a good fit for those of you who think our nose tackle should be bigger. And due to his inexperience, he will probably be available as late as the 5th, or 6th round.

Works for me. I'd even snag him with one of our two fourths. I remember how inexperience Seth Wand was and we still took him in the third. You can't teach size and quickness.
