Walter Nolen vs Kenneth Grant - PFF grade comparison

First, it's a lot better draft class for 3 techs than for 1/0 techs.  I have a lot more confidence in getting a quality 3 tech that can at least rotate as a pass rusher later in the draft.

Second, unless the character concerns get alleviated, Nolen is pretty much off my board in Round 1.  Tremendous talent, no question, but to me, he isn't so head and shoulders above the other top 3 techs in this class that I'd be willing to gamble on him.  

Finally, Grant is a ridiculous freak.  Everyone drooled over Sweat last year, but Grant literally ran a sub 5 second 40 his freshman year at 360 pounds.  That is re-goddamn-diculous.  His ceiling is prime Suh/Haynesworth level.  DJ Reader may be his floor, barring injury.  He's just a guy that IMO will make the other 10 guys better.

Character concerns? I haven't heard of them? Can you link?
