I understand that everyone thinks that Donald will be Atkins, and he was even more productive at the college level. And there was a reason why Atkins was picked in the fourth round. Why John Randle was an UDFA. However, because of guys like that, Donald's remarkable 2013 season and his freak level combine, somebody is going to spend a first rounder on him.

The thing is, just like under 6' QB's, in this day and age, 6'1", 285 lbs. defensive tackles have the odds stacked against them no matter how good they've been at the collegiate level.

And it won't be one on one senior bowl practices. He'll be getting doubled by centers and guards who outweigh him by fifty pounds a piece.

He's obviously talented and productive and athletic. He's got a chance, but it's not a given.
