What round are they projecting him in?

Kid's a beast, his combine was one of the best I've ever seen.

He'll wind up somewhere in the 1st round would be my guess.

Made himself a solid 2nd potential 1st round pick. Imagine turning him into a deep safety and just letting him swat that ball out of the air.

I agree with much of what has been said in here. Late 1st, early-mid 2nd... He certainly made some money out there.

First thing I thought of was Taylor Mays. Another physical freak S who catches everybody's eye - but will Melifonwu be any better?
