Needs to show pass rush skills in the showcase bowl. If he does he is a second rounder for certain. If not might fall to late 3rd or early 4th. I think he will show well. Wherever he goes he is going to be a big contributor in the pros (literally and figuratively)He was able to make things happen against Clemson which generally has very good lines. He's a good combine showing from moving into the second round.
This past summer I was told by someone close to the program (who likely is more than a bit biased) that Travis has better agility numbers than any 325+lb first round pick in the past few drafts (this could be an exaggeration and there was no way to prove it at the time). While raw size/speed/agility numbers don't always translate directly to football success, there are teams that love to draft based on things like that (look at Byron Jones' combine earning him a spot in the first round). TJ should receive an invitation to the combine and if he performs as expected, he will open a lot of eyes. He wont last past the third round and someone may be willing to take a flyer on him in the second round.One of many Mock Drafts - Big Boards out there:

Senior Bowl is going to be big for Travis.
I'm curious about this too.What happened to DJ this past season? He barely played. I guess I just assumed he was buried on the depth chart, but was he injured?
