He plays for Minnesota.  He sat out this year, but last year I watched him play a lot and he stood out in some hilarious ways.  

First of all, he is enormous.  He stands just under 6'9" and weighs 400 lbs.  His arms look like telephone poles.  Second, he is surprisingly agile for a mammoth of a man.  He played rugby, which reminded me a little bit of some of the film of Haloti Ngata playing rugby that emerged during his NFL career that was pretty hilarious.  

Watching him play, I imagined a speed rusher would fly around him and get to the QB, but time and time again he would just punch with one arm and send the defender flying and put him on the ground.  When he walled off his edge, it was a true wall.  He is also quite a finisher.  Loves to pancake guys.

So why isn't he going in the top 5?  He is very raw.  Speed rushers have given him some problems (only a few) with good hand fighting and counter moves.  He has only played two seasons of college ball.  It is really too bad he sat out this season, but I could see him being available in Rd 3 for all those reasons.
