I don't think he's nearly as overrated as you do. I actually think he's being overlooked, if anything.
I think he's the next Derrick Morgan/Robert Ayers/Jamaal Anderson. If a guy that size can turn the corner at the next level he's going 1 or 2 overall like Julius Peppers or Mario Williams.

Once in a long while a Gap Toof slips through the cracks. Most of the time, ideal size and not athletic enough gets 5-6 sacks a year.

Nick Perry, Chandler Jones, Adrian Clayborn, Cameron Jordan and Muhammed Wilkerson say otherwise. Also, you name Derrick Morgan who went at 16, but Jason Pierre Paul went at 15. He's a big guy who has been able to turn the corner.

I think he could be in that mold of a couple of those guys, in which case, I'd be plenty happy if we get him in the first after a trade down.

Nick Perry isn't any good. Chandler Jones isn't big, he weighs like 250. Clayborne hasn't become a productive pass rusher yet and Cameron Jordan plays DE in a 3-4 like JJ Watt. JPP was picked in the middle of the first because he lacked experience, not because he lacked explosiveness.
