But that only assumes he's really quick enough, athletic enough to be a bona fide edge-rusher and not just another version of a current Texan, the one-dimentional Anthony Weaver. And though LSU Tyson Jackson at 290 obviously has excellent size, he also appears to be primarily a run-stopper.
I'd rather use a pick, even one as high as a late first-rounder, on a situational player than on just another DE who can't significantly upgrade our pass rush.
BTW, here's an article about Krueger I ran across. Sounds like he had a near-fatal run-in with a Mex gang in Utah awhile back:
***
"Nine months later, in a Marriott hotel room in Salt Lake City, Kruger was emotionless as he talked about that January night. The Utah defensive end was almost numb to the story, having rehashed it countless times for the people who asked to see the scars that zigzag across his torso.

The 15 to 20 Latino gang members who jumped Kruger as he was leaving a party also drove a screwdriver through the back of his teammate, Greg Newman, and used brass knuckles to break the nose and shatter the cheekbone of his younger brother, Dave.

It was Kruger, though, who awoke the following morning in a Utah hospital with life-threatening injuries.
