Weaknesses: Could improve in blitz-pickup and pass protection technique; often slow to get to the outside; tendency to improvise, resulting in inconsistent ability to read blocks and hit holes.

What they're saying …
"New England adds more power and physicality to its backfield with this pick. Stevenson, a JUCO transfer, isn't the most versatile back and he comes with some maturity questions, but he's the type of punishing runner Bill Belichick likes – don't be surprised if he has a couple games with 15-20 touches as a rookie." ~ Mark Dulgerian, NFL.com
"If you can keep him [running] north and south, then [Stevenson]'s going to do some damage." ~ Unnamed area scout for an NFC team, as told to NFL.com
