ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS
Rare combination of size, length and athletic traits as a rusher. Long-levered frame with athletic, knotted calves. Brings freaky athletic traits to table and is still growing into his body. Flashes instant reaction time off snap and up the field thanks to his twitch. Has enough upfield juice to push offensive tackles into hasty retreat. Generates pop through speed-to-power element. Very good flexibility throughout. Able to sink and swerve around corner if he gets early lead in race to the edge. Possesses hip swivel combined with shoulder turn to slip and flip around the corner of an offensive tackle he's engaged with as a pass rusher. Rushes with forward lean that keeps his momentum downhill.

This is his draft profile. This says you have absolutely no clue on what youre talking about. This says the guy has the quick twitch the team is looking for. What i think is his size, stride and length have more to do with his 40. You can see it on video. The guy is usually right off the snap of the ball. Dont worry you cant always be right...like me lol
I dont see twitch in Taco or much burst a think this evaluation missed on his analysis but his going to be reliable

I have no problem with the pick. I am a Michigan fan and I would have rather had Peppers but I think with the pick we had he is what you would expect. I would have been worried if we picked Watt about his size and injury history.

His measurables are the same as Justin Tuck and Greg Hardy, both of him played in a Pro Bowl.


I hope he's great. His speed isn't he only measurable I don't like. The rest might be enough to make him a very good DE. I just think he was a bit of a reach at #28.

I can still be happy with this pick. I will be ticked if we pick a slow CB.

What's it going to be then, eh?
