All of this won't be known until he plays in the NFL, which may be too much of a risky investment for some.
Don't get me wrong with my perspective (and also some nfl scouts) on this - I like Mack as a player. But let's say it's the difference in his technique and this isn't as effective in the nfl (which isn't out of the question)- that means re-investing individual time and effort to change his technique. And who's to say, he is flexible enough to changing. This is what investing a draft pick really means.

Who's to say he's not? I'm not going to nitpick about whether you think he's first round material or not. If you don't fine, but I think you can find some weakness (imaginary or not) in every player out there. That's one of the reasons we have coaches. Here's a piece on Unger.
Max Unger, C, Oregon It says he struggles in the middle with big NT's and DT's. Think he's flexible enough to change that?
