re: Rashard Lawrence 'best D-lineman I've seen in a long time'

He was stuck in a 3-4 scheme where he was used to eat blocks. Aranda's scheme didn't help our DL or DL recruiting

True to some extent. I think what also huts him is that his body type is not ideal for an interior DT. He's built kind of top heavy, which may be some of the reason he struggled with leg injuries at LSU.

Great guy to have on your team. He's going to play hard and he's going to play through pain. Just like he did at LSU he's good and quick enough to make a few splash plays a game, but probably not a guy who will dominate the LOS. Still, you could do a lot worse than having a guy like Lawrence on your team.
