Quote:Granted, but lawson has production and elite athletacism. I think they said he is the only guy to grade out as a force player among all the edge rushers.


I havent seen much of him, but history shows that his body type athletacism and production at a big school usually doesnt last past pick 15.

 

The question is whether he does in fact have "elite athleticism."

"Productive backup for two years before putting together an All­-American season in his first year as a full- time starter. Lawson is built like a full­-grown man and combines his instincts, toughness and power to fill up a stat sheet and set an early tone. Lawson's frame and game are easily translatable to the NFL, but his average athleticism and pass rush skills will likely have teams viewing him as a 3­-4 edge setter or a 4-­3 base end. Lawson may also have value as 3­-4 defensive tackle in an upfield scheme."
