Looks extremely close too me.
The reason I say LDE is because in Wade Phillips Hybrid 3-4 that is where Watts is utilized.
Honestly most of your response are not really based on true research into potential use of the players but rather things heard on ESPN and NESN. You then combine that with the defense we has 6 years ago when we ran a straight up 3-4. I joined to this forum recently to hear from people who are willing to actually look at our personal and find out ways BB plans to utilize it in unique ways.
I can absolutely assure you that BB is not planning on recreating the defense he had back then. The size and style of players he drafted is for something new and inventive.
I am by no means trying to be argumentative but you shot down my suggestion based on a 16lb weight difference. Which could be made up easily without sacrificing and speed or quickness. 300+ 3-4 Ends are not the future of the NFL. Aaron Smith the best in the business is 6'4 285.. You need to see the future buddy.
BB did not draft Jones and Bequette both to play the same position.
Bequette at 3-4 DE? No way. He doesn't have the size and just because his combine numbers compare to Watt(who is bigger,stronger and more athletic) doesn't mean that will translate onto the field.
