His blocking shedding , run fits and blitzing are all starter level traits he has. Which is why he will be in competition with Brown for the Sam spot.

People don't drop to the 7th rd with his physical abilities if those were their only flaws.

He will have to show much more on defense than he did in college or excel at special teams to make the roster.

That's what the competition will be in camp.

He wouldn't drop to the 7th if coverage was his only issue considering Sam LBs often come off the field or are used to rush the passer in pass situations.

He struggles with things you may not be able to teach. That is why he was still there in the 7th.
It's a passing league now. Players the league deems 2 down players aren't valuable at all.
