    Certainly not me. I would think the rumors of a knee problem are true.

    To me he's a classic first step 3 tech/1 gap attacker. His "get off" is top notch, he's technique is a work in progress, and ability to 2 gap is questionable.

    Agree with this. I would add one more positive - excellent upper body strength to disengage when he gets his hands into the blocker's chest. In my limited watching of him I recall many instances where he effortlessly bench pressed the blocker off of himself to disengage and make the tackle.

    Yup. I cannot argue with the positions that we have selected. Filled alot of holes.

    Agree. These are 3 of the 4 positions that I was targeting, the other being edge rusher. I think Hargrave helps the edge rushers we already have though.

    His explosion to power off the snap is downright elite/off the charts. There is work to be done, and I have my doubts about scheme versatility, holding 2 gaps, etc. but if we are going to line him up as an undertackle, and take the handcuffs off... We could be looking at... (Gulp.... I shouldn't say this).... A warren Sapp like presence on the interior

    It could be a franchise changing pick.
