Let's see can't rush the passer. Check.
Can't stop the run. Check.
Played for LSU. Check. WOOOOHOOOO LETS MAKE HIM OUR #3 PICK BAYBEE!

First, as I stated above... didn't 'love' the pick.
Second, you are going off of scouting reports. Not to sound like a d!ck, but the guys who go off scouting reports either don't watch the players or don't know what they are looking at.
As a Georgia resident, the SEC is a pretty big deal around here. The guy was a very good college player that has a good combination of size and speed. He 'fits' the 3-4. He isn't a good 4-3 end. He would probably be a pretty good under tackle, but I like under tackles to be a little shorter to get better leverage.
Anyways, the point isn't that I am saying he is going to be a 'stud'. The point is to claim that he will be less than that based on some scouting report you read is pretty funny.
And, lot's of guys don't get it five games into their NFL career. Predicting that he will be a Ryan Sims type of bust is silly.
