DL Michael Bennett (National Champion)

http://www.jaguars.com/news/article...nd-Roell/d4472c70-71bb-4dfb-bc5d-357d0bca6a72

Video from the Jags war room of them calling Bennett to tell him they're picking him. "Your waits been probably a little bit longer than you expected, huh?"

Jaguars Assistant Director of College Scouting Paul Roell

(On why Michael Bennett fell to the sixth round) “There are always different things, one would probably be scheme fit. He’s a little bit of a smaller guy; he’s a natural 3-technique in the 4-3 front. Three-four teams may not be able to fit him in as much. Some of those 4-3 teams may already have their 3-technique.”

...

(On his 43 Wonderlic test score) “He’s very football-smart. We had him in here a couple of weeks ago, probably about two weeks ago; he’s a very bright and articulate young man – a very analytical thinker. His parents are both West Point graduates so it tells you a little bit. He’s the type of kid when we were talking to him, he’s very polite and well-mannered. The big thing is you could tell how smart the kid is. He was thinking things through, taking it serious. It’s exciting to have a kid like that here.”

Character matters in the NFL. He's not up for rape, he didn't beat the hell out of a pregnant woman, he didn't help shoot out $4K worth of windows, he didn't steal crab legs from the grocery. How would a team know if he had any aggressive tendencies?

In an odd way, his up bringing work against him. In this new era with concussion concerns...Michael has options in his life. A43 wonderlic score is great for a qb probably seen as less important on D. They want crazy on d line...Alzado, etc.
