Overall I give a very solid grade to Shanny/Allen's first round.

The thing I liked about him was the fact that he can play the run to. He's not just one of those finesse, run around the corner types. He will get his own push if he needs to. I know Von Miller was the better prospect and I'm not exactly a trained scout but half the time when I saw the footage of Miller he was getting pushed around and trying to run around people.

Kerrigan on the other hand will bush rush you and go through you if needs to. However there also lies the problem. Kerrigan doesn't have a variety of pass rush moves. Though hopefully the fact that Orakpo has discovered this problem with his own game will allow Kerrigan to get to work on it sooner rather then later.
