Ok I rewatched the UCLA one.... UCLA gave up 10 sacks in that game. He was often left to the RB. Now he did beat the tackle occasionally and he did complete the sacks. I'm not discounting that. I don't see a guy who will require a double team or special attention in the NFL. I'll look for the Stanford game,
Ok that's what you see some how. But the OP asked between Orchard and Harold. What do you see in Harold? He hardly puts his hand on the dirt. He's alot like Dupree but lighter. Best standing up. Both get ate up when they play with their hands in the dirt.

I'm just answering the OP, Orchard is better than Harold and is also better than Dupree. With that said 34 teams would be more willing to take Dupree and Harold over Orchard.

To me Orchard is alot like Lawerence. Dupree and Harold are more like Marcus Smith and Dee ford. 34 teams jumped to take Smith and Ford last year over Lawerence because they are better 34 fits but I liked Lawerence more last year as a 43 DE.

I thought Harold was much better with his hand on the ground than standing up. It amazes me how we can see things so different. I'm no scout so who knows.
I thought Howard had some surprising pop coming out of that 3 point stance. I guess I see Orchard as similar to Dlaw also and I feel we need more Athleticism. I know he's more risky, but I think he has more upside and I feel his risk isn't about desire or being a finesse player. He's neither of those he's physical for a smaller guy and he has a great motor. My issue is he's sort of our of control, lack of technique and I feel he can be taught that.
