I just don't care for any OL, especially ones slated for the interior positions, who don't play w/ aggression, which Essex does not. He also has injury concerns that may curtail his development. Getting "Lights Out" Merriman in the first was a nice move. A great hitter/tackler who is a superb pass rusher, arguably the best pass rusher in the entire draft.
