I hated the pick but if he can learn some more moves, play with a bit more control, and be coachable, he could be a fantastic pick.
Thats the problem, he was able to do that because he was that much more talented and physical than the opposition.....and he still couldnt produce. He loses that huge advantage in the NFL.
You win pass rushing with instincts, knowing when to bull rush, plant and drive, swim, etc. He has close to zero instincts.
He has no clue how to use his leverage or convert his speed to power, etc.
Then you get to technique, the reason Aaron Donald shadow boxes with knives, this guy has no technique or go to moves at all. Hes a great athlete in a great frame, thats it. He has zero feel to the game of football. Teams will have him so confused with misdirection and play action that I doubt he plays more than 40% or so of the snaps
