You say he just jumped to the top of your wish list. Be honest- was he even anywhere near your list before today? He's not even 300 lbs and probably the 4th or 5th DT out available.

I agree that it's quite premature to consider him some kind of can't miss prospect just because he was able to throw 225lbs up 49 times. Hell yeah it's impressive, but that doesn't make him the top dog.

Now he may not be the #1 DT in the draft, but I think he may now be the best NT in the draft if he gains more weight or 3-4 DE. He happens to be 6'1" 303lbs.

edit:
Just checked out the scouting reports on him at Sporting News and NFL.com and he's getting rave reviews so maybe there is something to him being a beast. Let's just not get Mamula'ed
