He's a project, at the end of the day. He's got great physical ability, but no experience at all and needs to develop better pass rushing moves.

Whilst his versatility is important, the fact his ceiling may be lower than some of the other convert players may hold him back. Whilst a good athlete, he is not explosive and thus IMO will slip to round 2 compared to others.

I like him at #44. Think he would be a reach in the 1st.
