Yes folks we drafted yet another High Motor Guy (at least this one isn't a Norwegian).
IMO this guy is good pick, we need some speed off the edge. So he isn't huge? Neither is KGB or the Freak or Freeney.
11. Chris Ellis, Virginia Tech
Height: 6-4 Weight: 263
College stats: 35 starts, 165 tackles, 36 tackles for a loss, 22 sacks, 6 forced fumbles
Vital numbers: 4.75 40-yard dash, 4.23 short shuttle
Ellis is a high motor player who gets the job done with effort. In the NFL, guys such as this can be neutralized if they don't develop technique. Ellis could struggle to disengage from NFL blocking to make plays. He will be at his best in a stunting front which puts him in motion from the snap of the ball. He has some off the field incidents in his past that may cause teams to pass on him until late in the draft. His 4.7 speed could put him on every special team until he develops. 58 plays behind the line of scrimmage in 35 starts is less than two per start. Draft projection: Round 5.
