Unless something crazy happens, the Pats would probably need to take him with the #96. He could go in the 4th, but it seems fairly doubtful that he lasts to #131.

I agree exactly with what you're saying about his strengths. I am really concerned about his pro day report, however. Maybe it was just an injury precaution, but it sounded very bizarre.

It was indeed bizarre, but I'm sure that he is being put through the motions during any visits that he is having with teams.
