Ecstatic about DE Andre Branch

I simply love this pick on Friday. This guy is an explosive pass rusher off the edge, we need to be psyched about it! To be honest, I preferred him over Vinny Curry. He seems like more of a freakish athlete. I think he's better suited as a RDE, that will blow by Tackles in the NFL.

His hands are distruptive, he shows explosion off the snap, and has long arms. Wow - great qualities. I read somewhere his senior year he started to bend underneath tackles around the corner better, which just added to his repertoire of pass rush ability. I think if he gets a bit stronger over the years, he could add a nice bull rush too.

Take a look at this highlight footage, but in specific minutes - 2:12, and 2:40.

This is the kind of plays that get me ecstatic about what he adds to this defense in 2012.

What are your thoughts?
