Does his attitude allow him to be coachable?

I would just rather stay clear if it would take time for him to develop.

That's a tough question to answer, I know in HS he was highly regarded by the coaching staff. I've heard stories out of Ole Miss about how much the coaching staff if really trying to teach/develop these guys v. how much they just want them to make athletic plays. Ole Miss's defensive scheme is basically "find ball, hit ball".

Phil Dokes LOL. He was something.

Bruce took a couple of years to get his act together.

Two different leagues and generations, difficult to compare.

Physically and athletically they are similar. He would step right in and play in the rotation.
I really don't care who it is. It could be Reed, Robinson, Floyd but it has to be a guy who can contribute immediately.

LOL at the Phil Dokes reference. I think it may have been a jab at Walt Patulski however - widely considered to be the biggest Bills draft flop of all time - until Mike Williams (the OT) anyway. Thanks Donahoe.

And Phil Dokes was not all that great a player.

If you're talking about who I think you are...

that guy dominated in college, 46 sacks and more than 70 tfls at V-tech, including 22 sacks in one season.

LOL. I need to finish reading the post I guess. Bruce.

Nkemdiche without the off the field issues would be a top 10 pick, easy.

I wouldn't be too upset if he was the guy at 19.

He has the talent if he can get someone to work with him and get him a little straightened out.

Yup

Some say even a top 5 pick.
It's the 'red flags' that are making him drop.
Some say he is just a different type of personality, 'a misunderstood artist'. If that's the case, his personality might not be an issue at all.

My personal Red Flag with his has nothing to do with 'off the field stuff' and everything do with his on the field production. Given his natural talent, he Should have Dominated in College but he didnt! That's the biggest red flag to me.

Without a doubt. All physical everything and he averaged 2 sacks and a little over 6 tfl's in his career.

Once in a while, people become better NFL players ....but its a long shot. Guys like that, you take in the mid to late rounds.
