He might be able to make the transition to 4-3 DE if he bulked up a bit and improved his lower body strength. At 6'5" and only 245 pounds, he's pretty lanky. I read some write-ups from the Senior Bowl practices that said he was pretty easily blocked out of the play, so you have to wonder if he can consistently hold his ground against linemen as an end at the next level without making some changes. He might be a good fit in the 4-3 as a linebacker, kind of in the Raonall Smith mold perhaps where he can rush the passer. I think he'll probably go somewhere in the third or fourth round, as a 3-4 team will like what he can bring to the table in terms of rushing the edge.
