Even being SEC co-defensive player of the year, he was never going to go in the first round. A 6'2" 255 pound man is a small DE.
I agree 100%.
The thought that people will possibly blame his coming out if he doesn't go early is maddening. Many College Stars flop or go very late. If you follow this sport, who can forget the Notre Dame QB Brady Quinn. Touted as the Top Pick or at least in the Top 10. He got picked at 22.
