He's miscast as a DT. If you got Mathis and Wyatt to go with Nnadi and Jones, I think you immediately get to work on transitioning Wharton to DE who occasionally kicks inside on 3rd downs.
Works for me.
And you’ve got Wyatt and Mathis as your starting interior next season if you want to get rid of Jones and clear more cap space. [Reply]

I definitely think they need another DE though. But lets take a look at the defensive line after that mock.
Now the first thing that stands out is that we have to many bodies at DT and not enough at DE. Add Ingram to that DE group and it starts to look a little better. But that DT group if you cut it off at Wharton? ****. That's a TON of pressure coming up the middle.
Definitely JAG heavy at DT, I don't think you'd miss Saunders or, Stallwort. I'm curious to see how Herring looks. Never hear anything about him or his recovery. [Reply]
So, if a contract is fully guaranteed how is the team protected from giving a bunch of money to someone and then that someone just be like I'm injured and get paid without doing anything? [Reply]

Which is why could only see teams giving out 2-3 year deals if they’re guaranteeing the money.
Which is essentially what they’re doing now via the signing bonus mechanism.

Not even remotely the same. There are plenty of DEs (into round 3) that would fit, and neither of them have to be day 1 starters like LT last year. [Reply]

Not really a one for one scenario here. Last year...they were in on Williams pretty early on. They haven't shown really any interest in the DEs that were available in FA. [Reply]

They've got Frank Clark's corpse and shit at DE. They need someone there to play big snaps though. There's a big drop from the top 4 DE's to the next tier. I'm not sure what they do there. Maybe just throw numbers at it and see what sticks? [Reply]

Depth and rotation is basically the best bet at this point. Strength in numbers and see what pans out. [Reply]
O.City would’ve been scared to draft Oweh, Phillips, Ojulari, and Rousseau last year too.

And for once he actually has one that makes sense.

This fucking dude flip flops more than anybody I’ve ever seen in my life :-) [Reply]
