Selected by San Diego Chargers in round 5, pick 6 (#139 overall)

He is a former OLB who has outgrown the position, and he must now make his future at DE. He has a lot of pass rushing experience in his past, although his speed is not what it used to be, and unless he dramatically improves his 40 time, he cannot be considered a legitimate edge rusher. He is a solid football player who is certainly big enough to play vs. the run and he has good overall quickness, but athletically, he has really looked sluggish, and may have been overrated in that area. Unless he dramatically improves his speed and quickness, he may be no more than just a guy, although he does play a little better than his numbers indicate.
