Situational pass rusher for a 4-3 team only, and no way you blow a first on that.
Now, if you're a 3-4 team, maybe you can make an argument.
But he's literally smaller than Willie Gay or Leo Chenal-and Chenal was more productive as a pass rusher as an off-ball linebacker, for ****'s sake.
Just no. No.

It's not like he's not been playing against guys a LOT heavier than him and stonewalling them. We need speed off the edge, we're not getting a guy who does it all at 31. We can get an edge setter R3 or 4 if needs be. If we want quick pressure off the edge it's realistically a guy like Smith or McDonald with that pick.
Like I said if it's another power DE type cool, fits the system, will get on the field earlier and more often. I'd be happy enough. I'd just prefer a guy who is lethal on obvious passing downs, even if that's their only role.
