If you're expecting an edge-setter and run-stopper, you'll be good to go. He eats up stretch plays, and has the heavy hands to get off the big boys when he doesn't beat them to the spot. Strong enough to anchor an inside gap as well.

If you need a pass rusher, he's not that guy. He rushes upright as hell, and I don't think he can bend the corner in the NFL. His pressures are going to be manufactured from twists and overloads, since he shoots gaps well and has the strength in his hands to walk back linemen. Late third, early fourth round.

+ Very good punch to dominate outside runs and collapse the pocket
+ Plays with a little extra meanness and experienced at LDE/RDE/ROLB
- Stiff-hipped and a straight-line, non-creative pass rusher
