Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together. His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue. He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well). Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage. Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck. He's not unrefined by any means. If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette. And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play. But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent. What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc. How to play against these tackles as a game progresses. Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length. When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited. Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact. -

Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
