Baylor's Briles: Shawn Oakman will be a steal in 2016 NFL Draft
"He's a different cat. I wouldn't want to categorize him," Briles told NFL Network's NFL HQ on Wednesday. " ... Shawn has done an unbelievable job of staying very humble. He is a tremendous athlete with a tremendous frame. Whoever gets him, they're getting a steal in the draft, I can promise you that."
Oakman made 46.5 tackles for loss in three seasons at Baylor, but there are scouting questions about his consistency of effort and a rawness with his technique that led a scout to suggest as far back as November that Oakman is a third-day pick."

I think he may be right. Maybe not a 1st round pick, but I would consider a late 2nd round pick, 3rd at the latest. He's no Devin Taylor (big man with small talent). I think he may be a talent that just needs some coaching and a challenge.
