But if that doesn't pan out for some reason, I think Spags would like to keep Kpass down the road. Kpass was a work in progress last season, and he showed some improvement in his overall game after about the mid-way point and going into the playoffs. Also, he has that incredible length at 6' 7" and probably close to or over an 8 foot wingspan. Spags likes guys with exceptional length/reach, so I can see Spags wanting to keep Kpass around if he continues to improve his game.

I'm absolutely certain Speaks will get his chances, and he's certainly transformed his body into the right role for it.
I just don't think he can bend the angle. I think his movements are a bit jankier and less fluid than every other DE on our roster. I think he's a 3-4 DE that we drafted to be a 3-4 OLB for some reason and now are being forced to convert into a 4-3 DE.
If anybody ever hates on the phrase "tweener" ever again, just point to Breeland Speaks.
