What do you think about this guy? I didn't watch many of his games this year, but judging from scouting reports and combine results, he has pretty good explosion off the edge. He possesses zero character concerns and was a two-time captain in college with good production. At 251 however, he could probably add a little more strength.
What are your thoughts about this guy as a 2nd round prospect if Spence is not available?
He's a head case for coaches that's all I know.
He's underrated. I think there is some prospect fatigue with him since he was supposed to explode into this top overall pick contender after his big sophomore season, but he merely stayed good and never got completely dominant.
His biggest red flag is his age. 24 before the draft is not good. Same reason the reigns need to be pulled on Dodd. Not a good track record for players who are already that old and developed growing into much more than they already are at draft time from a physicality/maturity standpoint.

LOL Talk about divergent opinions...!

Haha it's just that I've played ball against him in high school several times and the coaches couldn't stand him! I've literally seen him storm off the court, yelling and cursing, IN THE MIDDLE OF A GAME! It was nuts. Everybody couldn't wait until he was gone from that school believe me.
People do change and mature, but I will never forget that and I don't think he fits with the type of guys in our locker room.

Being named captain twice and staying for a senior season when he could have bolted for the 2015 draft shows some growth and maturity.
He tested positive for meat.

I mean it was like 6 years ago, but I've never seen anything like it! He left the gym in the middle of a varsity basketball game lol.

Haha that's great. I think he'll be better than Branch, though.

All these guys great praised until they get busted for something, thats why NFL teams invest so much into background info
I'd put a crisp hundred on Calhoun having better production/pressure than Branch.
We could do worse in the second round.

I really hate Andre branch. Some people might remember me talking about how during games where the defense was getting torched, branch would be on the sidelines hanging out with Clemons and other players. They would be watching the game intently, but branch would be laughing and smiling, looking real smug for someone who was one of the main reasons the defense was suffering so bad.
And then those Twitter posts after the Malik signing.... I'm glad the dude is gone and I don't want anyone like him on the team haha
Yeah Andre Branch always had a smug, cocky look... As if he's the only good player on the defense and that it's everyone else's fault for the defense sucking.
I've only watched 2 tapes thus far, Oregon tape was meh but his Iowa tape is pretty impressive.

Meh, I like my Hundos greasy and crinkled.
As for Calhoun though, I think that LEO fits him really well but I'm not so sure about his production being there. I think he's worth a swing in the Second Round.
I wonder if we draft Shaw Lawson how many idiots are going to complain and compare him to Branch. We had plenty of people trying to compare Dante Fowler to Derrick Harvey after last years draft. Lawson is way more physical and plays a lot harder and Dante plays as hard as anybody I've seen. Harvey wasn't even that good at Florida and I remember saying I wouldn't draft him at 26 and yet Shack Harris trades almost entire draft for him. I really wanted Calais Cambell.
How is he in the run game? Can he drop back if needed?
