Actually, some draft experts think he was picked a round earlier than anticipated. I don't care about these expertly opinions. Shit, Mike Dana didn't even have a draft profile and he turned into a really good player for us.
When drafting a defensive lineman, you always take into consideration important traits such as flexibility (where you line them up), pressures created, character/leadership, etc. He was highly productive in pressures created in back-to-back seasons and has the abbility to play inside which would help against the run.
