Hughes still has some work to do in pass coverage but he has the speed and quickness imo. He's very strong at the POA and can beat most RT's without needing to commit to the outside which still allows him to hold contain strong side.


if we get graham then Hali would move to the left side and replace Vrabel. If we get Hughes then Hali would stay on the right and Hughes would take Vrabel's place. Just imo.

Flip that and you are correct...

Graham is more likely to play LOLB if we drafted him (ala Lamarr Woodley)... Hughes is more of a toss up.

Either way, they are both fantastic upgrades to either spot.
