How did he do today?

Great game today. No flashy stats or anything, but it was a dominating team effort. NCST came into the game leading the country in third down % but got crushed up front and with solid secondary play. Game was 41-7, and the only score for the Pack came in the second half when Christian Wilkins extended a drive with a personal foul.

NCST has a really good QB in Finley, and he was held to 156 yards passing and 2 INTs, while the defense as a whole logged 10 TFL and held the Pack to 2/12 on third downs.

It's not easy to make Ryan Finley look so clueless, to make State's offensive line so unsure, but that is what the Tigers are capable of doing. This was not, by any means, a good effort by NC State, but don't let that sell the Tigers short of what they did, either.
NC State wanted to put pressure on Trevor Lawrence, maybe force him into some freshman mistakes. NC State never got that pressure. (And anyway Lawrence proved above it.)
Instead, Clemson's pressure made Finley look at times like the panicked freshman. When you win the point of attack, it makes such a huge difference. The scoreboard says as much.

My biggest concern with Ferrell ATM is his athleticism or lack thereof. From what I see on tape, I'm not confident he's going to grade well at the combine. He has stiffness in his lower body and struggles at times with flattening. Not really explosive or bendy. Dude also appears to be carrying some bad weight. I think I saw a gut in that clip posted on the last page.

I see this so far as well but I need to watch more tape honestly. I fear that we will pick the wrong edge player again.

I don't. We're drafting too high to mess this up.
