What would be your player comp for him?

I don't see him as the thumper that Devin White in Tampa is.  He doesn't have the cover skills of Kuechly or Urlacher or the pure speed of Shazier.  To me, if I saw him in a 3-4, he'd be a poor man's Shazier, maybe like a bigger Devin Bush.

I still don't get how Utah uses him.

If he excels in space and gets engulfed by OLs, why put him with his hand on the ground head up on a T?  Yes he's an athlete and you want to utilize his athletic ability, but by lining him up like that, you negate him.  He doesn't have the length or bulk to successfully take on many LTs.  

There are things about him I like and things about him I don't like.  I want to see more of him, though.

Either one. He's so much better than either player. Probably Jack though. He has the athleticism of Jack, but he has the instincts that Jack is sorely lacking. 

I see Lloyd as a Roquan Smith type player. They are very similar. If he is lined up at one spot and let him be, I believe he could be excellent. 

Utah definitely isn't doing him any favors by the way they use him.

Check out Mike Rose too if you get a chance. I like him a lot too.

I could really get onboard with a Roquan Smith type ILB. I just wish they mebbe slim Myles down a tad and put him at OLB opposite Josh Allen. If not, then trade him while he has value to a 4-3 defense team
