I saw this write up on Sturm's blog. Thoughts on this kid? Sturm also like the pass rusher from Oregon state.
Jeremiah Attaochu - Georgia Tech - 6'3 - 252
This player might be the opposite of Shazier, in that I can't stop raving about Attaochu.
There are a few tapes over the course of the year that you find that you want everyone to see. LaMarcus Joyner's performance against Clemson is one that you must find. Another is what Attaochu did against Pittsburgh. Good gracious. On that day, he looked like the absolute best player in America as he terrorized both Panther tackles and made a menace of himself.
Overall, he is as relentless a pass rusher as there is here, and therefore might be that defensive end in the 4-3 that is undersized but worth it as he can hold his own in most rushing scenarios.

Now, he did not compete in the Combine, because he hurt himself a bit at the Senior Bowl and sat out with a hamstring injury. What that does to his value will depend on his pro day performance on March 28.
But, from watching him play against Clemson, Virginia, and Pittsburgh, I am willing to say that he looks like a player who red-lines his RPMs and plays his tail off at such a relentless rate that the sacks seem to follow. He is a great effort guy, but also has tools and speed that the combination is a guy who makes huge plays.
There are talks that he might not be an ideal LB because of his ability to cover. That might be true, but I think I would want him as a Sam/Nickel pass rusher, if not a full-time DE.
I love his passion, his work ethic, and his versatility to be a real solid joker candidate. They say he is raw and possesses upside and he seems to have a real discrepancy in his draft projections, but this is a guy I am ready to pound the table for in the 2nd round. I really like his work.
