Love this guy. He's the best in the class at sitting down against run doubles, coupled with a stealthy (for 320 pounds, I guess) burst to get into the backfield. He holds gaps, can play sideline to sideline *and* makes tackles…most defensive tackles fail at one of those. As a pass-rusher he's mostly brute strength, with a swim here and a spin there, but he can collapse the pocket just with his hand power and quickness.

Wore down in games because Texas relied on him so much (playing him at end on passing downs), but that won't be an issue in a proper NFL rotation. Not as explosive as other prospects but a steady, disruptive force that can defend three downs. First round.

+ Equally great run-stuffer against straight doubles or zoning
+ Has a burst for his size and finishes plays
+ Strong as fuck
- Gets lackadaisical with his rush moves, ends up leaning on blockers instead of disengaging
