Thoughts on Hau'oli Kikaha(OLB)?

I really think this guy could be a great get at 75/78. He's had some injuries(2 ACL tears on a Knee 3-4 years ago) but his college production is unmatched(19 sacks last year and 36 in his career)
6'2 253 ran a 4.93

STRENGTHS: Explosive first step and arc speed to get around the edge with flexible body control and balance to flatten. Stays low with natural dip, using his hands to slap away blockers' jabs without slowing his momentum. Tough to contain in space and rarely stops his feet, crossing the face of blockers and using his lower body quickness to work around bodies. Fluid change of direction skills to make sharp 90-degree turns with the loose hips to turn and play in coverage - will drop and cover in short zones with natural ball awareness and proximity feel. Strong wrists and arrives with aggressive angles and violent intentions, tuning up his target. Nice job on the edges to hold the corner and close off the outside, tracking well to work off contact and pursue. Plays assignment sound football with elite effort and competitiveness. Fiery, pesky motor that simply doesn't quit. Experienced in a two and three-point stance at left and right defensive end, playing mostly the 4i technique as an underclassman before moving to "BUCK" linebacker as a senior - also played on special teams coverages as a senior. Highly productive and one of NCAA's top pass rushers the last two seasons, leaving Washington with the school record for sacks (36.0).
WEAKNESSES: Solid build and muscle tone, but lacks ideal body strength and can be pushed off his path at times by blockers. Too easily slowed and needs space to be effective, lacking the length to live in a phone booth. Doesn't have the power to consistently shed once engaged and won't overwhelm with his upper body strength. Can be run at and controlled in the run game, too easily moved from his spot. Moves well, but not a twitchy athlete. Tends to get lazy with his tackling technique at times and needs to be a more consistent finisher. Too many ankle biting tackle attempts, needs to better break down on the move. Needs to improve his anticipation and instincts in coverage. Strong durability concerns after tearing the ACL in his left knee twice (Sept. 2011, Aug. 2012).

Good talent, but the ACL tears scare me

Then he is a sure-fire Saint pick.
Fortt, Sunseri, Powell, Greg Romeus, Martez Wilson, etc...

Probably will be one of our 3rd round picks for sure.
I'm almost certain we are going WR or CB at 44

Jim Henderson just said he thinks we're taking a WR.

Perhaps another crumb leading to Funchess.

Dudes a round off doesn't count

The TV broadcast is 7 or 8 picks behind, I imagine he already knew he was the pick when he made this topic.

A little early but I really like him
