I feel like the Rams knew he would need some work to be effective at this level and likely hoped it would happen sooner than later. He reminds me athletically of Terell Lewis, but not as big, and doesn't have an injury history. He also has a similar frame to Hardy but a bit heavier. He played against better competition @ Tennessee than Hardy did at Montana State and should develop faster, as long as he can add some moves and maybe put on a bit of weight, he should be an effective edge in a rotation. I felt like he was a pretty high-risk/reward guy, but I wouldn't grade him as anything but a rookie that needs to keep working hard. I have always felt he may take until year 2 to show his real potential and start rewarding us.
