Dave's stock has really risen over the course of the past few months. He is a very good run blocker who also has good enough movement skills to be (or at least become)very effective in the passing game also. His size is very good and he even has room to grow a little more. He absolutely dominated LSUs Marcus Spears in their meeting this past year. David is a very hard worker who is smart and picks up the blitz very well. If he has anything to improve on it would be his overall playing strength and the aggressiveness of his punch in pass blocking. He is a bit of an introspective guy who is not overly confident in his abilities, so he will need to be coached up to play with more confidence. All the raw skills are there though, and he could go as high as the second round if everything works out as expected.
