re: Saints Draft Thread: Updates inside

What he does best:

Exceptional burst off the line of scrimmage. Challenges the edge routinely and already adept at turning speed into power.
Kicked inside at times in obvious pass-rushing situations and was proficient beating guards as well.
Still incredibly raw with a good deal of coachable issues in his game.
Makes up for some length concerns with an exceptional long arm move. Pairs well with his explosiveness to help him win the edge.
Doesn’t keep going back to the same moves. Keeps offensive tackles on edge with an array of maneuvers.
Nice little inside swim move with more than enough agility to pull it off in the league.

Biggest concern:

Sold out to rush the passer. Playing the run was an afterthought for him. Might be forced into designated pass rusher role early on until he learns how to play run.
Has a bunch of wasted reps as a pass-rusher. Had an immense physical advantage against many of the tackles he faced, but had no plan of attack often.
Unimpressive spin move that he often tips far too early.
Level of competition is very much a concern. Some tackles he faced could barely move. Was just alright at the East-West Shrine game..
