Last year was his only year of starting and he finished with 63 tackles, 15 TFL and 11 sacks.

He also shredded the combine at 6'4 250. It's risky but I want the kid . He's only going to get better.

Seems like a 34 OLB no?

if he's not drafted in between 1 and 41, the Saints would have the ability to at 42 barring any sort of trade that resulted in the forfeit of the rights to the 42nd pick.

They scouts feel he can play in a 4-3 as a down or stand up end.

11 sacks.

He got at least 2 when he played LSU and Harris couldn't figure out what to do.

Would think we would have to take him at 32 if we wanted him.

I would pick him at 32. I think he will be the steal of the whole draft. just my opinion.

He'll go late first round, very early second probably. They'd have to get him at 32. He'll be gone by 42.

I like his game. I don't think he's ready to take on NFL tackles as an every down player, however. Okafor/Kikaha and Watt rushing the edge with Jordan and Fairley/Rankins/#11 pick sounds good to me on 3rd down.

I'm cool with him at 32 if they decide to double dip in the first for pass rushers.

Can get a good corner in round 2 or 3(in this draft for sure)

I like him at 32 or 42 as well. Another guy I really like is Tarell Bashem 6'4 270 really athletic (4.7 at combine) and his tape is really good

He ate LSU up the entire game. It was impressive

I mean we need a pass rusher, have 3 high picks, and he dominated the state's top program. But yeah, seeing what his brother turned into and TJ's story is intriguing

Sure got the hang switching to defense quickly

I'm sure all the former GMs and scouts that are impressed by him only like him because of his last name...
