He got caught up in the scandal at Miami and declared 1 year too early, but that could help us get a talented kid 2-3 rounds later than he should go. His sophomore year he had 10.5 TFL and 6 sacks as a very undersized DE. But, I think if transitioned to OLB in the 3-4 and asked to do nothing but pin his ears back and get after the QB in certain situations I think he could be a steal in the 5th or 6th round. He looks the part at 6'3 265 and is very athletic for a guy that size.

Anybody else like him?

Yes, he is on my list of "value" picks. I made the list based on the CBS rankings.
