He's heavy footed and lacks athleticism.  Jawaan Taylor was a beast in college as well, as was Cam.  You have said in every post you wanted Wirfs lol, most of us did but we didn't.  At least we have a few pieces on defense with high upside in Henderson and Chaisson, ill wait to see what they can do this yead

No. They weren't. If they were "beasts" they wouldn't have fell to round 2. There were issues with Taylor's knees and his slow start coming out of his stance. That's why he fell to round 2. Cam fell, because he was always a better run blocker than a pass protector and most people saw him purely as a RT. 

I don't view either Henderson or Chaisson as having high upside, but I'm willing to give them another year to prove themselves. Hopefully, a 3-4 scheme will help both of them, but I have my doubts.

Cam won the Jacobs and Outland Trophy.  Saban even said Cam was the best lineman he ever coached.  Both were monsters in college.  There has been great players in college that fell to the 2nd or even later rounds.  If you keep up with football you should know that.  And to say Henderson and Chaisson don't have high upside is comical.  Henderson has more upside than any corner in last years draft and Chaisson has more than any pass rusher not named Young, it's 2 of the reasons they were drafted so high.

There is actual proof how bad they really are. It's not like we're making this up. Look at their blocking grades.

Again I wasn’t  saying they were the best, but when your team is down early in every game and you’re having to play from behind and DE’s know you’re going to throw it’s very hard for lineman to get a high grade, and while pff do some very good things they don’t know the blocking assignments called on plays so they’re really only guessing like everyone else.

Exactly, I think if Cam can stay healthy his best is yet to come
