He needs to keep his head up and just slow down a bit as a pass rusher and he could be great. I was down on the pick initially, but I was
really harsh, Shemar Stewart is one heck of a talent and the only thing holding him back can be coached up. He has everything, size, strength
speed, quicks, hands, lightning quick first step and he will instantly be our best run stopping End IMO.
His straight-line strength is unreal. He's capable of moving 300+ linemen like their kickers.
He needs to be translate that speed and power laterally too though...something he was inconsistent with. You see him blow by guys a lot off the snap, but then get taken away from the play or miss the play altogether when pursuing. Recognition and finishing are the 2 biggest areas he needs to work on IMO. The speed and power are great tools, but only if they can be controlled. Right now, he's sort of like a bull in the China shop...just breaking shit and causing chaos. If the staff can refine that and get him to be a little more focused and patient, I think he could wind up being a pretty damn good one.
