LISTEN: Brock Huard's NFL Draft preview: Michigan State DT Malik McDowell

Malik McDowell, DT, Michigan State

Height/weight: 6-6, 296
Class: Jr.
Hometown: Farmington Hills, Mich.

Brock’s take: If Malik McDowell’s motor revved consistently, he would’ve been a top-10 pick. There were times at Michigan State where he looked like the most dominant defensive lineman in college football, but there were other times he flat-out fell asleep. The Seahawks’ decision to select him in the second round is consistent with their high-upside/high-risk draft mentality.
