SO-remember what Veach said about "pockets". This draft is deep in safety and CB talent right? as in "pockets" of players with similar grades. No need to jump up to get one of those as any one of several players is graded similarly. BUT-a pass rushing DE that can also move inside in sub packages....in a class that's light on that particular type of player, when we have a need for that sort of player, it makes sense to go get.

He's not KPass; he's more like Jones. KPass is a DE/OLB tweener. This guy is a DE that can play DT/NT in sub packages/passing downs. I don't mind it conceptually. We'll see how it plays out.
