My only issue is that we drafted Billings last year, and I prefer him to McDowell personally. Especially as a NT to replace Peko.
McDowell would do better at Atkins' position rather than NT.
I actually think McDowell can be a very similar to a player like Calais Campbell who is a 3 day lineman that plays DE and DT. I suspect he may be the 2nd best DE in this draft if he simply got more technique in college where he was asked to play to many roles. The guy is extremely strong and has an amazing first step. If he comes into the combine 10-15 pounds lighter and test well I could see him instantly being listed as the 2nd best DE in the draft. A see Solomon Thomas more in the 3 tech than DE, but we will have to see what scouts say about him after the combine.
