I like him better lined up over center. He's more inconsistent at three-tech and easier to redirect. At nose, however, he dominates with extremely strong hands and forces double-blocking. There are some pad level issues and mercurial displays of effort, but I thought he generally improved those issues from last season -- a positive sign.

Not a great threat on passing downs, but sneaky. He'll surprise a lineman with his burst, then show off a swim move he'd been saving for third and long. He had more quarterback takedowns in 2012 than Corey Lemonier, Michael Buchanan, Barkevious Mingo and Dion Jordan. If he slides some because of consistency issues, I like him a lot. Higher and I'm warier -- he's one of those guys that three years from now, you'll wonder how he got picked in the spot he did (for better or worse).
