Started first four games as freshman in 2011, but missed final nine after tearing ACL. Granted medical redshirt in 2012 after tearing ACL again in fall camp.

ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS Relentless. Bends the edge hard. Plays with his hand on the ground and stands up. Scheme versatile. Best fit is in 3-4. Intelligent player. Saw a streak of 14 consecutive games with a sack broken at Arizona in 2014. Excellent with his hands, possessing a variety of techniques. Was a judo champion when he was younger and a high school wrestler, so he understands hand placement and leverage. Good change of direction. Maintains low center of gravity on his rush without losing his wheels. Ability to recover and get back into a play.
WEAKNESSES Can get swallowed up in the run game at defensive end. Has had knee issues in prior seasons. Perceived as a one-trick pony (pass-rush specialist). Upfield specialist and doesn't set the edge consistently. Needs work on playing consistently in space. Gets overly aggressive at times. Has had two ACL injuries and medicals will need to be scrutinized.


DRAFT PROJECTION Round 2 or 3

NFL COMPARISON Rob Ninkovich

BOTTOM LINE Kikaha is the most accomplished pure pass rusher in this draft class. Relies on a relentless motor off the edge more than athleticism. He has an elite determination to get to the quarterback. While he seems to specialize in just rushing the passer, Kikaha has the power, hands and frame to improve against the run. It might take some work to get fully comfortable as a stand-up 3-4 OLB, but Kikaha is a very safe draft prospect as long as his medicals check out.

We are stocking up on D but I think we should have taken Jalen strong with that pick.

I wanted Perryman. Why could we not get him?

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

I love this pick, now let's get Perryman and Petty in Round 3

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Mcshay is a big fan of the kid. Says he doesn't look good in running around in tights....then again who among us does? Uses power to leverage lineman and quickness to to finish the sack....19 of them in 2014.

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Welcome to New Orleans Hau'oli Kikaha :bng:

From what I have read, this kid runs to the QB like a Tasmanian devil.

Nick Underhill ‏@nick_underhill 1m1 minute ago
Kikaha had 72 tackles last year. 25 were for a loss. This guy has insane numbers.



Sounds we are just getting solid dependable players

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
