Thanks..i just want to add that i would like to see uche on early downs at LB..i can't imagine anyone we currently have as better..he brings athletic quickness and change of direction speed we badly need there..also those 250+ pounds ILB can't tackle better..they can take on O-Linemen better but with a overall stouter front seven it's ok with HT KVN and Judon i think..appreciate the discussion @One-If-By-Sea, @patsfanfromoversea
and Draft discussion combined with FA is not only ok but part of original idea - so by all means
(just didn't see sense dropping qb fantasies/trade up scenarios here ad nauseam since there are several threads specifically for that)
re edge/DL
When thinking of signing another big name DE/edge it makes sense to count the snaps you already signed.
Judon - 3 down edge player - run + rush/push + set edge + contain + coverage = 2y/32M = 80%
Wise - edge rotation + situational inside rush/DL = 2y/12M = 50%
Wino - edge rotation + situational pass rusher = 60% (2020)
this is rotation considering last yrs # + projected Judon role and contract #
add
Uche - situational pass rusher + coverage from edge
Anderson - big DL sets edge
DT rotation
Godchaux - NT/DT = 2y/15M = 60%
Anderson - DT/DE = 2y/7M = 40-50%
DT depth - C.Davis, Cowart, Adams (Spence) = ?
Looking at this id be looking to add DT/DE much more than another DE.. and that includes Guy
Draft is another matter although id be surprised if they go edge/DE high (unless its LB like Collins)
Agree with you on the last part..the most edge/DE guys are high risk/reward..I'd be ok with one of them in a trade down between 22-32 tbh since they could provide a nice piece on the other side of Judon
DT seems to be a little bit higher on my list (but not through draft more FA) if we want a 3 T. I don't think Davis or Cowart will be the guys for different reasons. There could be a Casey/Guy signing imo to put our DT group to an significant upgrade over last year. (They have risk as well I admit). I think if we view Anderson as DT/DE who sets edge than a DT is more needed, but if we play him more/mostly as 3 T than Edge could be a bigger need.
