CBS mock says we get him as the steal of the draft. One can only hope.

I don't think he's a great fit, and I'm worried about his lack of explosion. No bend, not really a great set of pass rush moves...
He has played well, however. He can anchor very well, has enough sand in his trousers to be an effective run defender as a base end. Definitely not a screamer off the edge. His power won't be as effective against pro tackles, imo.
In the late first, I think his power and length are traits that make him a passable selection as a player with a high floor. I just don't think he solves our pass rush problem like a bona fide speed rusher has the potential to.
Personally, I'd prefer him as a second round prospect. I like Gross Matos a little bit better, and K'Lavon Chaisson better than both of them. Seems like Chiasson will be long gone by 27, though.

Instead they have us taking a varity of choices, including one of the monster O Linemen from Bama, of from Houston etc., although one had us getting a major D lineman.
Fine by me, although I hope we don't ignore a good center.
Looks like we're gonna have to pony up some cash to get better on the edge.
