This pick spells the end for our Pro Bowl 3 tech that we just signed 2 seasons ago.  There is no way to justify the pick without cutting/trading Malik, maybe as soon as this offseason.  If Bryan comes in and is outplayed by Jackson and Dareus (likely), and Jones and Bennett (possible), then what do you do with him?  You can't practice squad him.  You hqve to cut better players than him.

Based on his play he would be a late round pick? Have you watched him play or are you browsing box scores? If you watched him play then his athletisicm and explosion should have been evident to you immediately. He was always going to be a 1st round guy this year and if he stayed another season and continued to develop chances are you'd be looking at a top 10-15 pick.

I am a Gators fan and watched every game. If I asked you what separated him from any of the other linemen on that team and said that you can't answer with "athleticism", what would you say?

So basically, you have some degree of confidence that he's not even better than Abry Jones and Michael Bennett - while the F.O. apparently thinks he may challenge a starting DT in due time. 

Time will tell, I guess.

I know he isn't better than Malik or Marcel. At this point in time he's probably not better than Abry. Who knows with Bennett since he was injured. If you asked for my opinion, I think Bryan would have a Bennett like impact in his 1st year.
