I'm more towards the later than the former. I can't seem to find enough good tape that would lead me to believe that he's a disruptive interior pass rusher or run stopper.

Seriously.. he's 280lbs. So that's light to play inside. He isn't a LEO. For me his natural position in Seattle is the Jason Jones role. Is that worth a R1 pick?

Yep........He is 280 now probably 290 plus in a couple of years, Henry Melton was 269lbs at the Combine at about the same height. Jason Jones was a nice player when healthy which didn't happen too much last year. This guy could play 5 teq on early downs and offer a better pass rush then Red Bryant, then kick inside on pass downs( I know Red's foot ...not ready to give up on him but he could take some of Red's snaps and keep the big fella healthy and offer a better pass rush............... just saying. He could also play inside on early downs, not on short yardage and not a bunch his rookie year but he could be a rotational player at several spots in his first year and get a ton of snaps, which is worthy of a late first round pick for a playoff team with a good roster.
I posted some video of him a month ago if anybody wants to watch it's consolidated here.............
