Fairley, it depends on how high he's taken. In the first quarter Alabama made him almost invisible at times, with just single blocking to boot. Of course whenever I want to write him off he does something obscene -- like cut through the entire offensive line and nearly take the handoff.

He's definitely a pure three-tech for a 4-3 team (he could also play end in some defenses, but I don't trust him to play two gaps or hold contain). And comparatively, I think Nevis from LSU is more consistently disruptive playing the same position.
