Well, this is the book on Branch:
Clemson DE/OLB Andre Branch
Branch exceeded expectations and turned some heads this season, most notably by answering some of the questions about his ability to turn the corner at the next level. He's looked more explosive out of his stance and shown the ability to bend back inside once he gets under the outside shoulder of the offensive tackle. Add in his above-average upper-body strength, and Branch is capable of giving a team's pass rush an immediate boost.
NFL fit: Buffalo (No. 10 overall) needs to bolster its pass rush and address the outside linebacker spot in its base 3-4 scheme. Branch would be a good fit, because despite showing only average fluidity in space, he has experience dropping into coverage and is agile enough hold up in underneath coverage on occasion. He also has experience rushing the passer out of a two-point stance.
