The fact that he was considered a 1st rounder had he decided to come out last year, while being very talented to boot also play in his favor. Don't think you could go wrong at all if he can be acquired after the 2nd round. If he rocks the house next week at the combine, might even make into the 2nd round of the draft.
I think the Senior Bowl week probably helped propel him into the 3rd round. I'd still be skeptical about drafting him though. First time he gets a concussion or major injury, you know he's going to seriously look at his options. He's a smart kid that can do anything he wants in life and if you have that on your side...why risk it all on a football field? Just not a guy I see playing longer than 5 or 6 years.
