I'd pass on him, Better players will be available. He struggles to shed blocks, Also does not have a quick first step

[PrincetonTiger]

The ACL injuries scare me a bit

[throwing BBZ]

He will always have trouble shedding blocks and has no upside to develope his moves. If they added a 14th-15th round maybe for camp fod. Na, sounds lazy too!

Oh he can develop pass rush moves, Thats a none issue, Lack of a quick first step is a serious issue...That could improve a little bit but wont ever be great

2 Round Pick we should take the Best Player Available!!  Regardless of need.  fill needs later in the draft.  I wouldn't be against trading down either if "the guy" isn't there to get more picks in a deep draft.

Powell went to Rancho Verde High, just down the street from me, he was Rivals' overall number 1 player in the country at any position. Should have went to my trojans but went to florida, and didm't really make the impact he was expected to.

 

But, in high school, the kid was dominant.

 

But that's high school lol.

For me,  he's a 4th or 5th round kid......

 

Lots to like physically.....    but not as much between the ears or in his heart....

 

This write-up makes it sound like he has spent his years since HS living on his press clippings of a top HS recruit....
