He's something special as a pass rusher. It's all the other parts of his game that I worry about.
Mocking The Draft's Dan Kadar called him "a scary prospect (in a bad way)." He didn't play against the run in college, making him questionable as a starting 4-3 DE, and he showed "no coverage skills" which makes him questionable as an every down outside linebacker in the Packers's 3-4 defense.
Maybe his pass rushing skills alone are worth it. I'd rather they had drafted a pass rushing defensive lineman, but obviously they didn't think any of them had a first round grade, or were better than Nick Perry. I'm still excited about what he can bring to their team as a pass rusher, but only time whether he can become an every down player.
At least at first, defensive coordinator Dom Capers doesn't seem to envision Perry as an every down player.

Capers: Perry will fit into our nickel scheme. Can move him around a little bit. His burst gives us flexibility.
