Could play various positions along the D-line; he will most likely be a 4-3 DT or 3-4 DE.

Weaknesses: Pass rush needs to be improved, I don't see him rushing the passer as much as I would like. He occasionally is off balanced. He is inconsistent overall. Tore his ACL and MCL in 07 and broke his ankle in 08.

Summary: Devon Still will most likely be a top 15 pick. He's got the strength to play multiple positions along the defensive line which makes him valuable to pretty much every team. He's a terrific run stopper who has a good first step and motor. His pass rush needs to be improved, and he needs to be more consistent in his overall game. However, he's got the talent to make an immediate impact, which leads me to believe that he will go early in this April's draft.
