His lack of speed and strength are awfully concerning for a guy who's going to go in the top-10. Ran a 5.00, benched 21 times.
For comparison, Atkins ran 4.75 and benched 34 times.
He is only 22 years old, been training for Combine drills for weeks and will be 300 to 305 pounds as he matures.
What makes him a Top pick is his Versatility which is what I would want to maximize.
DT at times DE at times and the D-line Group gets deeper for rotational purposes to keep guys fresh.
