You could get a different great DE though. Not as good as Seymour, but you cover the position.
People are assuming you could draft any 4-3 tackle and have him turn into a great 3-4 NT. Why? There's no evidence of that.
I'm not assuming that at all. I'm saying that a good NT is harder to find than a good DE, but there are a lot more guys around the league that can do what Wilfork can than can do what Seymour can. There are more guys that get drafted every year that have Wilfork potential than Seymour potential. Therefore, Seymour would probably be harder to replace than Wilfork. Guys with Vince Wilfork's level of ability are rare, but Seymour's once-a-generation.
