Draft Projection - 2nd -3rd Round

NFL Impact: Kindle amassed his stats in 2009 playing the DE position vacated by 2009 Pro Bowler Brian Orakpu. He is a relentless pursuer of all things QB, and has the versatility to play outside in a 3-4 OR 4-3. Kindle is very fluid, athletic, flexible, and has outstanding range sideline to sideline. Kindle has some issues against talented lineman, likely a result of being fresh to the defensive line in 2009. Kindle will need work on his moves and run attack methods, but will continue to develop and has tremendous upside for the correct coach and team. What are your thoughts on Kindle?

Here is a video highlighting the pros and cons of this prospect:

Kindle and Cody are the 2 guys that seem to be all over the place in the various industry and "hobbyist" mock drafts.
I've seen Kindle as high as #12 overall and as low as the late 2nd round. He's certainly a 1st round talent and is essentially the same player as his former teammate and 2009 early 1st rounder Brian Orakpo. I'd be stunned to see him make it out of round 1.
 
Kindle had an extremely good Combine in virtually every drill. I think any trepidation has been erased now and he's a top-20 lock. He may now have solidified his status as the top speed rusher, regardless of position, in this draft class, and can fit in at any LB spot or as a 4-3 DE.
