I have only seen him in a couple games, and highlights on youtube. I by no means am a draft expert. But can someone explain to me why he is the clear-cut #1, safest-bet kind of player? I think Justin Smith (who is admittedly awesome) plays better, and McDonald is more explosive. He does have 12 sacks, but seems somewhat lumbering compared to other players.

Someone educate me!
He'll educate you himself twice a year starting next season. He's going to be a force to contend with. Especially with Long standing next to him.

I think you're on to something. I think he's going to be a very good DT, but if people think he'll dominate anywhere close to what he does in the Big 12, they'll be sadly mistaken.
