He can very easily get to first round status.. He didn't practice good technique this year. He seemed to always try to rush the edges and circle the lineman, and usually ran himself out of the play because of this.

Will a little coaching of arm technique and undercutting, he's a first day draft pick all day.

I'm not sure I agree with that. To this point, he has been a third down end in the NFL. A pass rush guy with a little run support. If he wants to get to the first round, I truly believe he will have to show that he can play 3 downs and be viable.

Last year Carroll took a lot of shite about drafting a pure pass rusher in the first, everyone said it was a mistake and that he reached a round too soon. That kid was an exception, not a new rule.
