He's a 5th-round pick. Like virtually every 5th-rounder, he's got flaws. Because of that, many 5th-rounders don't make it; few become genuine stars. I don't know what the big deal is, debating his merits before he's even had a practice.
He's got some athletic ability and some nice intangibles. He could be an immediate contributer on ST, something we need. Anything over that is gravy. If he gets cut, it will be a disappointment, but it won't make him different than a whole bunch of other guys in the 5th. I'm pretty sure the Chiefs drafted him with an eye on ST first, and as a developmental LB second. Gary Stills went in the third, and I think they had higher hopes he'd be a pass-rusher. Instead, they got a very good ST player who can occasionally fill-in on D. He's a valuable guy so long as his salary doesn't get out of whack.
I'm pulling for him, but I'm not predicting success or failure.
