DE Georgia

Analysis

Positives: Looks the part. ... Appears to have the frame to handle adding additional mass and make the transition inside to defensive tackle. ... More technically refined than most junior college prospects. ... Good hand usage to take on and slip blocks. ... Has the lateral agility to force the play out wide. ... Can break down in space and make the secure tackle. ... Might be an ascending player.

Negatives: Lacks burst off the snap. ... Bit of a "tweener." ... Lacks the speed off the edge to generate a consistent pass rush from the outside and the bulk to play inside at this time. ... Needs an open lane to close on the ballcarrier. ... Never established himself as a playmaker in the SEC despite plenty of hype.

Height: 6'3"

Would've preferred someone like Vance Walker to play DE. Also I'd like to see a CB like Coye Francies(if he isnt a problem with character issues) or a C like AQ Shipley. I think we need a C incase Wells is hurt so we can keep Spitz at G.

You think they are going to develop him into a rush backer?

Might have been a reach but it is the 6th round.

Somebody for Kevin Greene to work with. Doubt he make the team. Practice squad.

I thought Clay Matthews would be his new toy.

With the talk about this guy being able to bulk up yet, he was likely drafted for for potential D-line depth, not linebacker.

Sounds like another Mike Montgomery which isn't necessarily awful in the 6th round. Montgomery was also taken in the 6th. Both will need to make changes to adapt to our scheme.
