- Let's talk about Ohio State pass rusher, Chase Young. Perhaps the most devastating defender in the country last season, I think he can do for an NFL team what Nick Bosa did as a rookie for the 49ers.

On the upside, he's got the big three-- height, weight, speed. You look at his natural ability to rush the passer. I could see why he is a top 3 selection possibility in this draft.

On the downside, though, he can get a little upright at times. And his pass rush arsenal isn't quite on Bosa's his level yet. Reminds me a little bit of Myles Garrett, Jadeveon Clowney-- two freaky number one picks in recent years.
