If you saw both he and Von (who I do like) play, you wouldn't take the comparisons seriously at all.
DT was a generational talent similar to Peyton for quarterbacks... or Suh for DL...
Talents like Von Miller are available every year or two.
Here's some more food for thought, where is the kid gonna play?
Dumervil is the RDE...no question. That leaves your 4-3 with a huge hold for a LDE that can help stop the run and provide a passrush....Von is gonna get run right the **** over by linemen almost a hundred pounds heavier than him and more talented than the guys he faced at AnM.
If you guys were staying as a 3-4, I'd be genuinely concerned but adding him (instead of a far better prospect IMO in Dareus, who I think is the prize DL of this class) to a average at best 40 front line isn't scary at all.
You know what would have me very concerned? Dumervil and Dareus on the same line.
#32 rush defense
Count it
Honestly, I think it was a dumb pick unless they think Dumervil is done and his specific position needs replaced.
