I think he’s an ideal DE in a 3 man front with his size/length at 6’5” and 310lbs. Then can bump inside on 4 man fronts. I don’t see any other top end d-line guys that can do that. Anybody know what his weaknesses are?

Imagine a line of: Hubbard - Reader - Barmore - Lawson

My comp for him is Richard Seymour.

Edit: let me clear something up, I’m not suggesting taking him at 5. He would be a trade back scenario in the 10ish range.

I had my eye on him in the NC game a lot as I wanted to see how he did. At times, he was dominant, at times he lost the battle. This is par for the course for most lineman on both sides.

I think he is 1st round pick, but I did not see enough from him rushing the passer consistently. In some cases DL just hold the LOS on pass plays or even drop back, I did not see him do any of that, just bull rush on every play whether pass or run. My point is if a player due to scheme gets to dictate their assignment, they should get more sacks and more TFL plays. He was very good, I would not say great, but a definite 1st round pick and maybe as early as 15th but closer to 25. I think he would be a steal with our pick in round 2
