(getting everything below from my fav. draft site nfldraftcountdown.com)
Size. 6-4 1/4 267. (willie was 6"5 270)
In terms of Abiamiri I think he's a player the Pats would/should consider.
Here is why:
1.He's known to be a great athlete. Passes the eyeball test.
2. Long arms. Allows to gain seperation from blockers when setting the edge.
3. Packs a good initial punch which to me translates to being the first step in controlling the Tackle in holding the edge. You punch to neutralize, get position, and maintain outside leverage.
4. Fluid enough to drop into coverage.
5. Good pass rusher.
6. Good tackler. Makes plays in pursuit.
8. 7. Smart and hard worker with intangibles.
9. Production against top competition.
10. Room to improve and get better. Get bigger. Still improving.
Weaknesses:
1. Raw and needs to refine technique: can our coaching staff coach technique? I think they can.
2. Timed speed isn't special (4.8 40), yet athletic enough to drop into coverage and make plays in pursuit.
3. Needs to play more consistently: I think coaching and leadership can achieve this
4. Struggles to shed blockers: has long arms and packs good initial punch. He's got the ingredients to shed blockers. The rest is technique.
5. Minor durability concerns: I can live with this. So he missed some college games, that's ok with me.
I would take a shot at him @ 28 or trade down and grab him in the early 2nd.
