Here is their scouting report for the Chiefs pick.
HT: 6-3 WT: 258
Possesses good size for the outside linebacker position, is a bit lean in the upper body, but has a bubble in the lower half and can really fire off the football. Also, displays a long set of arms for his size and does a nice job keeping himself clean off the edge. Coils up into his stance well, keeps his base down off the ball and routinely takes a positive first step, staying low and getting on top of offensive tackles quickly. Possesses elite first step quickness and can consistently threaten the corner. Does a very good job of extending his arms into contact when trying to reach the corner, keeps himself clean and loves to work the inside rip in order to free himself around the corner. Exhibits good balance and acceleration when flattening out around the end and possesses impressive closing speed around the corner. However, is a bit limited as a pass rusher at this stage, at times will work the bull rush and does a nice job getting his hands under the pad level of blockers, gaining leverage and driving his legs through contact. And through contact does a nice job working his way inside. However, doesn't display much of an inside move laterally and doesn't use his hands well enough to slip blocks inside before contact. Too often can be overplayed toward the edge and pushed past the play, as he will let his pad level get a bit upright once he is clean from contact.
Is a willing run defender, but lacks ideal girth at the point of attack and can be overwhelmed on contact. Played with his hand on the ground mostly at Georgia and isn't a guy who looks like an ideal fit as a down defensive lineman unless it's in more of a cover two scheme. However, showcases the ability to make his way up the field from a two-point stance, reads pulling linemen well, plays with proper leverage and can accelerate toward the football. Doesn't use his hands well enough to disengage through contact, but has some natural strength to his game. Plays with a good motor, works hard from the backside and exhibits a passion for the game.
Impression: An explosive pass rusher who has been productive in the SEC the past two seasons and knows how to consistently threaten the corner. Has the fluidity to develop a counter move and drop off into coverage, just needs some time. Looks like an impact-caliber rush linebacker at the next level.
