Strengths
Looks the part with NFL stature, length and musculature. Is athletic and flexible and has rare leaping ability for his size. Quick off the snap. Flashes the ability to gain extension and play off blocks. Gives effort in pursuit and ranges to make tackles. Good closing speed. Snares ball carriers. Averaged a sack per game in college. Has experience in a 4-3 and 3-4. Dedicated, hardworking and coachable two-time captain. Mentally tough guy who has beaten the odds and persevered to get to this point. Has moldable tools and upside.
Weaknesses
Needs to get functionally stronger. Still learning to convert speed to power and does not physically dominate marginal competition. Green eyes and instincts to locate and diagnose. Plays too tall and needs to learn how to grow roots defending the run. Washed by double teams. Hand use and pass-rush moves need to be developed. Will be a 24-year-old rookie.
Draft Projection
Rounds 4-5
Bottom Line
Raw, physically gifted, Division II standout with untapped potential given his combination of size, length and movement skills. Will have defensive line coaches drooling in workouts, and has the dimensions and athleticism to warrant consideration as a draftable, developmental investment with positional versatility to play defensive end or three-technique in an even front or five-technique in an odd front. Could be tried as a linebacker.

He's listed at 290 lb's - so he's got to be yet another strong side DE ? Pretty deep at Strong side, what the hell we doing at weak side, you know, where we have 1 suspended and 1 injured, and Benson Mayowa ?

Can it get into the backfield a few yards at least, then he is a winner in my eyes.

And here's another one, Thornton hasn't practiced all week and listed as Questionable - no practice no play. Crawford (The English one) only light practices all week and is listed as questionable. (will probably play but will be limited) - We are pretty thin on a weak front 7 anyway. Don't know where pressure will be coming from this week. Unfortunately it's starting to feel like 2014 again......

Lawrence's career might be over before it got started.

Lingering back problems that won't resolve are not good for defensive linemen.
