Has natural leverage to give blockers fits. Explodes off the snap -- thrusts into gaps and wins with suddenness. Plays on his feet. Quick, active paws -- shoots his hands and locks out. Disruptive penetrating ability. Relentless and energetic. Excellent pursuit effort -- doesn’t quit on plays and chases outside the box and downfield. Has played inside and outside. Works hard in the weight room. Team captain
Bottom line: Undersized, explosive, athletic, high-motor three-technique whose junior season was cut short in Week 3 by a knee injury. Injury history will likely affect his draft stock, but when healthy, he shows the ability to disrupt the backfield and pressure the quarterback. Fits best in an aggressive scheme in which he could use his quickness to slant, stunt and shoot gaps.
I think he would a great depth addition and would immediately work his way into the D-line rotation
Film vs Tennessee

Wouldve been a first rounder if he hadn't gotten hurt IMO.

I agree with you Bear. He's as talented a defensive lineman you can find.

Someone is going to get a steal . I pray its us

I mean if we got him in the 5th round or so cool, but DE is one of the last positions we has a need at. I do think we take a NT somewhere though

He actually can play nose as well. In the highlights he shifted there quite a bit. He got tons of pressure and created havoc in the backfield. On pass rushing downs imagine a four man front of Jordan, Glenn Foster, Easley, Galette . Christ that's scary

hope we get hum, he's really talented. One of the steals in this draft.

I definitely don't want him on any other team in our division

Would be a great get. Dude's motor never quits.

Yep
I don't see any way he's around in the 4th. Dude is a baller. If he's there I'd be incredibly happy if they draft him

CBS has him with a 2nd round grade

STRENGTHS: Easley proved a quick-healer after a torn ACL in 2010, by coming back to start 11 games in 2012 and showed versatility, lining up at defensive end. Easley's tackle numbers dropped overall (26) but he finished with more big plays (8.5 for loss, team-leading four sacks), including 3.5 tackles behind the line of scrimmage in the Sugar Bowl loss. Easley's explosiveness off the ball has been among the best in the conference. He also has quick, active hands to slap away blockers and is able to hold up well against the run at this level due to good core strength.
WEAKNESSES: At under 290 pounds, Easley may be considered undersized to be an every-down interior DL at the next level. As with any player who has suffered an ACL tear, there may be questions about durability and long-term health.
