Takkarist McKinley, UCLA

At 6-foot-2 and 252 pounds with 34.75-inch arms, McKinley has the frame to be a weak-side edge defender for an NFL team. He possesses one of the best get-offs in this class, and his motor always runs hot.

However, he is an extremely stiff and linear player as well. McKinley struggles to carve the corner with his speed rushes, and he lacks the refined hand usage to soften the edge. He false steps out of his stance, and he lacks a lot in terms of fundamental technique. He routinely plays with poor pad level, which will cause him to get dominated at the point of attack in the NFL if he doesn’t fix it.

McKinley’s one saving grace is that he has the potential to be a speed-to-power rusher with an elite motor. However, when you add in the shoulder injury that may cause him to start the season on the physically unable to perform list, it would be hard to justify picking him before the third round, even though a team will certainly try.

They said the same thing about the NFL sack leader.

I was concerned about them getting that other edge rusher there, but then McKinley spoke, said GD, dropped an F-bomb on his employer's network on national tv, and overall looked and sounded mentally disturbed, unstable, and like he kills small animals for fun.  I'm glad they picked that guy LOL.

I like this kid tho. Nothing better than fulfilling promises for your loved ones.

[jopie87]

I await news from Falcons training camp of Takk not realizing it was practice and destroying Matt Ryan.

Browns trade with Dallas

John Owning is the best DE evaluator out there. I wouldn't take his analysis for granted.

[Chardee MacDennis]

Cam is gonna side step Takk, then on the next play stiff arm him, then truck him...and then Christian is gonna juke him out of his socks and take it to the house.

Lol

[JawnyBlaze]

Lol at takk. Acted like a pro wrestler coked out of his mind. 

[yasuhara2241]

Takk will be the first player fined in the draft hahaha. But if he plays with that fire he will be a force

[BombzAway]

Man if Takk is that emotional now... wait till he finds out Atlanta blew a 25 point lead in the Super Bowl!
