I forget what triggered his ascent to a 1st round pick but it was very sudden and very immediate. And those kinds of rises are always suspicious. Reminded me of Jason Smith in 2009 (on a smaller scale, of course, as he went from a late 1st-early 2nd round pick to a top 2 pick).

Yea, why you're not wrong, but It was his draft workout that ascended him. He graded elite in quite a few areas, but he still had the tape to back it up. The fact he never gave up a sack while starting is pretty amazing, especially in the SEC. I think scouts over-looked him since they're in the West with Bama/Tigers etc... and to be completely fair, Arkansas is a power run team, so not giving up a sack is probably because they passed it maybe 12 times a game lol. Either way, he was a good prospect
