Just watched a 9 minute video of Kamal and here are the two most important thing I took from these highlights;
1. His highlights show him making third down tackles a LOT. Nothing flashy, just consistently not giving up the first down
2. He seems to have a knack for creating turnovers, which I love. Whether punching at it, or just seeing a loose ball or darting in zone coverage, guy seems to have 'Peanut Tillman-ability' to some extent

He's your typical "if he came out last year he would've gone earlier, but had a bad senior year/injury that caused him to fall" pick.
A worthwhile gamble in the 5th round. Just not a gamble you would take in the 1st or 2nd round. *cough* Justin Harrell *cough*

At this point I'll take a competent LB next to Kirksey when in base formations. I think Pettine really likes Bolton. He was getting reps with the 1's until he tore his ACL. Might be someone to watch if he comes back healthy.
