I posted this in another thread, reposting here:
As a Texas Tech fan who has watched Cole extensively when healthy: Cole is an incredible (off the charts) athlete and periodically flashed, but he struggled to consistently put it together. His stance is too high and he's inconsistent with his technique. Tech fans had high hopes for him entering this last year, but his stats and impact didn't match expectations. He has had relatively good college coaching in Tim Deruyter and Zarnell Fitch, so a bit of a red flag to me that he couldn't get these things corrected. He's supposedly a real high character guy, but a pretty extreme introvert. He caught some flak by not answering questions at the combine, but I think it was a comfort thing. He just worded his response/decline poorly.
As a prospect, would love to see the Chiefs role the dice and see if they can correct his stance and technique... But a 3rd or 4th rounder seems steep to me for the risk. I'd be looking 5th/6th/7th. I know his stock is sky rocketing post combine.
