I missed the bowl game so I'm not sure what he did but from watching a couple of his games, even his statistically best game against SC I just don't really get the love for the guy, especially if were picking in the top 10.

Negatives I saw : 

- Constantly running himself out of the play.
- Seems his only consistent move is beating the OT with speed which causes the above. He seems to want to beat the OT with speed and trying to dip under them rather than    attack them.
- Inconsistent off the snap, would be quite a few plays where he would be the last up.
- Doesn't seem to have a ton of strength or at least not great at using it, in the SC game the only time I saw him go head to head with someone and get any kind of push was a   TE and the TE still held up pretty well in the end. 
- I am sure some will bring up his size but I think smaller DE's can succeed the main thing is we need to see if his flexibility is good enough to make up for his size. 

I'm sure he can be a decent player but many seem to think the scheme at Tennessee helped his numbers quite a bit and I don't think we should touch the guy in round one if we are anywhere near the top 10. Also like I said I only saw 2 games but the SC game was one of his best statistically but will definitely be watching more when I can to see if these things continue to show up in his other games.
