Just got done watching Ifedi vs. Alabama and he was quite good. Not perfect. None are. But he was quite good against an elite defense.
On Ole Miss I disagree. There were a couple of bad stunt handoffs where the RG didn't pass his guy on to Ifedi like he needed to. There were a couple off bad run blocks, but they were largely away from the play. That's where he seems to struggle the most. Otherwise I thought he played well.
FTR, I love watching Ole Miss pplay defense. Nkemdiche is just a beast, but I keep coming back to Safety Trae Elston. he just jumps off the film to me.
I think you're right about Kirkland not being on the Seahawks radar. He (unfortunately) does not seem to be the kind of lineman they like. And I am already disappointed about that LOL. But here is something about Nkemdiche. I am also impressed with Nkemdiche, but when the analysts were talking about him at the combine, they said that there were some games where he didn't show up. One game they mentioned was the Arkansas game.
My personal opinion was that it wasn't that Nkemdiche didn't show up or try hard for that game, it was just that Arkansas had a superior line with guys that could neutralize defenders with great talent like Nkemdiche.
Just my $.02
