A.J. Epenesa’s numbers at Iowa were off the charts, but elite college production does not always translate over to the NFL.

Epenesa’s poor combine performance (5.04 40-yard dash, 4.46 short shuttle, 7.34 three-cone and only 17 bench press reps) have raised questions about his ability to become a successful edge rusher at the next level. He does not have the speed or quickness to be a 3-4 outside linebacker, nor does he have the strength to thrive as a 3-4 defensive end.

The Jets could be in search of some pass-rushing help once day two of the draft rolls around. If Epenesa falls out of the first round, Joe Douglas would be wise to steer clear of him.
