I said he constantly flashed while at 3T, which he really only got time at towards the end of this past season. Maybe you only seen two or three splash plays on highlights, but he showed off that ridiculous first step and pure overall strength plenty of times.

He most definitely has plenty of hand placements/techniques he has to work on, but he absolutely showed some rare abilities that you can't teach.

At the end of the day, Bryan was a BPA pick at #29 and not a top 7 pick... You take a DT #7 overall, he better instantly be one of the best players on this Defense, but we all know that isn't going to be the case. Which is why that'd be the worst possible pick this team could make besides maybe DE at #7.

I wouldn't say "constantly flashed."

Did he improve over the last four games of the season to the point of "noticeability?"

Yeah.  He even fell into a sack the last week of the season.

But as it stands right now after one year, I rate him only marginally ahead of Tyson Alualu and Renaldo Wynn.

When they finally stuck him at 3T for the last few games, yes he did constantly flash. He was showing off that ridiculous first step multiple times per game. Maybe he didn't get credit for the tackles or sacks, but he disrupted and changed multiple plays due to him being in the back field so fast.

I think we'll see a big jump from him next season.
