Not the most instinctive guy, but if Willis is off the board, he is a name to keep in mind.

If you project how he would play at 265 lbs, then you begin to see he might struggle because his technique is not great and he had limited moves.

Just about top of my board at 32. Versatile, athletic and explosive. And I wouldn't worry about our 4-3. He's an OLB when we go 3-4(5-2) and a Collins replacement in 4-3 or 4-2 nickel.

If Bowser isn't stout enough to play DE on 1st/2nd downs, can he drop into space and cover TEs & RBs during those downs? If he can't, then he's just a 3rd-down guy for now (or for the foreseeable future), and I don't know if I'd be willing to expend the capital it would take to move into the early 2nd round to acquire him.

He's considered a coverage specialist. He actually played OLB, even though he rushed the passer a lot. He's probably the best for a 34 team, but he could take Nink's role or bump McClellin down a bit on the depth chart. Explosive, talented space player who is strong enough to handle run and pass.
