There's no upside. Short arms and a demonstrative inability to hold the point of attack. If he's on the turf so much in these college contests, he'll end up on a taxi squad now that he's in the pros. Check the base. Narrow by my own standards. By the way he is flipped off his feet it appears he lacks the ideal wide base needed to flourish in the trenches. A one year starter at Florida isn't the same thing as a one year starter at Alabama. I also don't seen ANY positional flexibility. None. He has not shown on video any kind of ability to pass rush with consistency like a defensive end pass rushes.

David Caldwell has just drafted Tyson Alualu 2.0. The fact that this prototype is STILL appealing after all those years of over-matched nothing from Alualu strongly suggests Caldwell was put up to picking Bryan by somebody who knows nothing about football. So let's not allow the local media to put Tom Coughlin behind the eight ball for this pick.

Also, most of his "quicks" relates to passive trap blocking by the opposing offensive lineman. It's kind of nifty how they do it now. If the offensive lineman makes the classic trap block itself, the sidelines will quickly identify it as trap-blocking and the coordinator will move on to something effective against it. By remaining passive, the offensive lineman gives the impression the defender opposing him is getting quick penetration. That's what the sidelines sees and thinks. Yet, the reality is the defensive lineman has be influenced into a gap and he emerges in no man's land.
