Looked around and didn't see a thread for him. My apologies if there is one.
I like him as a prospect, but I don't watch NCAA enough to have confidence in my opinion. So I was hoping you guys can help out.
I was wondering what you guys think of him? How do you guys like his pass rush? How is he against the run? Best position and scheme? Where do you guys think he'll end up going?
Any information you guys can give me on him would be greatly appreciated.

| I like him a lot more than Mercilus. Better explosion off the ball and looks more fluid. I think he's a late first with potential to rise. I think to be a DE he'd need to bulk up a lot and I see OLB as his best fit. |

I love him sometimes and hate him other times. The last game against Penn State I pretty much didn't like him the whole game. It seems like he wasn't even trying. I don't know if he is a lazy guy or just lacks a killer instinct. I don't have the advantage of interviewing him so all I can do is go by film and he looks like he gives up to easy when and OT gets locked onto him. I think he's a little soft as well.
I know someone is going to get on my case about it just like with Mingo but people have to realize I am actually trying to like all these DEs. I'm going into every game I watch hoping this DE proves he has elite NFL ability. I want to like Mingo and I want to like Buchanan they just give me too many reasons not to like them.

| Overrated. Wouldn't touch him til the mid 3rd. At the least. Good athlete but zero consistency and strength. His selection will be based on potential. |

Awesome. Has great flexibility in his hips and ability to drop into coverage.
Should be a natural transition

To 3-4 OLB? Where should he go? Because the Colts are without a second rounder, and is love if we got an OL in the first and OLB in the 3rd.

Its hard to determine who will go where. I'm thinking he will fall to middle 2nd round because of all the DE & OLB's coming out this year.

I'm thinking at the end of the first round to a playoff team. He could shoot up draft boards with a great combine and such though. Dude is an athletic freak.
