When you feel that a player is the best pass rusher that you have evaluated in the past 15 years (which is exactly what Brian Xanders said) you take him. Teams are spreading people out more and more and you are in your nickle package a lot nowadays.
Denver can do so much with Von Miller and Dumervil. They are going to use multiple looks and at times they will have Miller, Dumervil, and Ayers all standing up and teams will have no idea where they are coming from. Remember Dennis Allen is a Greg Williams protege and believes in an extremely aggressive blitz heavy defense,Von Miller is a a perfect chess piece for that style of a defense. Denver is not going to run a traditional 4-3 defense like Herm.
