I am going to break my typical form and pretty much say this guy needs to be in Miami next year. Likely with 1B, plays all over the formation can rush the passer, drop in coverage tremendous athelte who plays disciplined. Most important trait I have seen him display is maturity and leadership. While blowing out Okalhoma things got chippy and a wrong move could have caused guys to be suspended for the National Championship Game. He pulled the entire defense aside and get everyones head right, he calmed them down and then after his group meeting went to individuals and talked to everyone to keep the overall picture in focus.

This guy just oozes what this staff seems to like. Maturity, disciplined, athletic and versitile. Count me IN!

He was fantastic today, just what we need based on this showing.
 
In other words, basically everything Terrell “I quit on my team” Lewis is not. Kid packed it in a month ago.

If I could rework my underclassman Rush linebackers I’d have Chaisson at the top instead of Lewis.

Wasnt Lewis more of a polished player and Chaisson was a crazy athelte but not a football player yet. He has developed which again shows maturity.
 
There was one play that stood out, among a number of great plays for me. Hurts throws a slant or was it a screen, can't remember, but it was a short throw to Ceedee Lamb who takes it in stride and turns on the jets the DE Chaisson, chases him down and stops what would have been another TD. Not just a kkid who likes to get after the QB, you can drop him in coverage and unlike Chase Young, he doesn't disappear.

That’s about the gist of it. Chaisson is only a RS Sophomore and missed basically all of last season with a torn ACL in the season opener.

Although, Lewis hasn’t really played much either due to dealing with so many injuries during his career. That’s why he shut it down early in my opinion. Just played not to get hurt the last month of the season.

CY is supremely talented and OSU has even moved him to 3 technique a few times in this Clemson game. Has had pressure a lot but Lawrence is just amazing and doesn’t really get shaken. But he is a DE and that’s it but he is a damn good one.

I personally see Chiasson as a guy who could be a DE/OLB on both strong and weak side plus a MLB in pass rushing situations. That’s flexibility and knowing he can line up anywhere and can drop or rush makes him a hard guy to figure out for opposing offenses.
 
Correction - Chaisson is a RS Freshman this season so not draft eligible.

I thought he was a freshman in 2017, I remember him being all freshman sec team. Then he got hurt and red shirted 2018 and is playing this year as a RS Sophomore

You’re right - I don’t know why I started second guessing myself in terms of his eligibility.

With all the new rules and the fact you can play in four games and still RS, it is hard to keep with with everything. That’s for sure.

And there’s talk the redshirt rule may change again back to 3 games after this season.
 
I've had him in a number of my mocks and agree that 1b or 1c would be a good spot to take him.

That's who I want. My fear is that he's already projected as around the 20s or late teens on most big boards. Players like him tend to rise and end up being a top 10 pick come draft day.
 
There was a hell of a lot of talent on display yesterday - some of it will drop and perhaps we end up with the kid with our 2nd or even 3rd pick, who knows.
