This is the first pick I don't really like.

Too light for NT, not enough agility for a DE.

Supposedly a strong run defender with good gap discipline so there is a chance he'll turn out OK, but low ceiling imo.

If they hit like last years draft then this team will win in all in a year. But they really need to hit this draft. Been so long since they have had 2 good drafts in a row.

We are going back to a 4-3 hes not a NT.

Cheers
You're probably right.

It looks like they're setting up to run more 4-3 (under) looks on early downs and 3-4 looks on 3rd/passing downs.

Where did you read this? I’ve not seen anything from the team. All the backers they are getting don’t fit a 4/3
It was leaked on Sherman’s podcast. All their moves point toward this too. Backers you like Wagner, Brooks, Bush? Most of their OLBers from last season can play in the 4-3 as DE’s…….Nwosu and Taylor as Leo’s/RDE, Mafe and Robinson as LDE. Camerson young is versatile enough to play the elephant role LDE on early down that Red Bryant ran.

I was about to make a similar comment. They have quite a few tweeners that can play roles in both formations.

I think I read he played at 315 - 320
