This guy is a phenomenal athlete, one of the best at his position in this draft. And yet isn't getting more than 2nd round buzz. What's keeping him from 1st round consideration?
The size: 6'3", 235 lbs
Production: 184 tackles, 6.5 sacks, 2 FF, 2 INTs in three years
Play style: Flies around the field, true sideline to sideline talent. Can blitz, can erase any player in the flat, great tackler.
Positional flexibility: Experience at all three positions in a 4-3 defense
Tape:

What're the holes? Why is he not first round consideration?

Was that the right tape? I know its not a highlight reel, but that was pretty rough. The comments on the youtube page shred him as well.
- Watches the play happen instead of getting involved or sprinting towards the action
- Egregiously held a few guys in coverage
- Got pancaked at the goal line
- Missed a couple tackles
- Manhandled by a few blockers
- Not very aggressive in pursuit or in tackling
- On one QB pressure, he slowed up and let the QB throw the ball
