Richardson would probably be the solution to that problem. Leave him on the field. Might get gashed once or twice, but at least QBs aren't going to have all day to throw if we don't want to send an extra guy like DJ or Berry on a blitz.

I'm not sure what you're talking about.
The ability to play multiple techniques is exactly why Poe was drafted and DeVito was signed. Don't think of DeVito as a DE and OLB. He can play the five technique and also play more of a 4-3 tackle or the nose.
Poe isn't there but the talent is. He wasn't bad in the nose next year and he has tremendous ability to play the five tech too. Will he develop into that? Yet tobe seen. It's why I never understood the hate for the Poe pick. If he develops as planned, he is exactly the kind of player you need to beat the no huddle.
To the point of the thread, this pick would be fine with me. DeVito is a nice to have, but he can be upgraded and depth is never a bad thing at that position.
