Can someone please explain the fascination with this guy? Only thing I see is a very risky very Athletic Prospect beyond that not much.
I guess you either buy into his talent or not.
For me I see every tool imaginable for the guy to be an elite pass rusher.
Physically he is awesome.

Problem is lack of production despite being a physical freak. I like to see my first round pick with some production to back it.
Have any of the top egde prospects play more than half of their downs as 5 techniques and they won't even be considered 1st rounders. The guy has more elite traits than guys like JPP and Ansah coming out. Other than the hip I have no idea why he would be available to us at 27. But if he is I'm running to the podium though.
I watched some of this year's UCLA games being an alumni. But I just wasn't that impressed. There were plenty of third downs that the front 4 generated no pass rush. Those downs he wasn't playing 5 technique.
I hope our scouts are correct if we draft him. In that UCLA defense Kendrick and Jacks are the standouts.

I think he is terrific. IMO, if teams think his hip is OK, then he'll probably be gone by #27.
He is very quick and powerful. In some games he had pressure on the QB on almost all passing snaps.
The guy is a beast. Super strong, with good size, while being a freak athlete.
He's the physical prototype, with great power, length, motor, and position flex. As has been said, the fact that he played a 5-technique definitely cost him some production.
As has also been said, his lack of bend around the corner means he frequently forces the QB to move (pressure), but can't always finish the play (sack). So he's more of a distribution than pure sack guy. Add to that the hip injuries, and I can see why he might be there at 27. Still really like him though. I think my 4 guys at this juncture are O'Diggy, Malcom Brown, Kevin Johnson & Eric Kendricks. One will certainly be there.
