Rank the edge rushers

[Chris Meck]

I've put Sanders back on my board as he's back up around 250.

One wild card-Nik Bonitto. Watch some tape on him, and think to yourself: Micah Parsons.

He would be a REALLY interesting chess piece. He'd be a touch small for a base 4-3 DE, but he has the off ball skills to be your SAM and would be a devastating blitzer from your base defense as well as a rotational pass rusher in nickel and dime sets. OR, if you wanted to do some 3-4 looks in your front 7, he'd be an ideal 3-4 rushbacker (and if you bring back Ingram, you've got a real nice 3-4. He's a kid you can do a lot of things with.

To me Bonitto is like the safety from Michigan, Hill. In the right system they could be Pro Bowl caliber players in non-traditional roles. Hill has a little more versatility for KC's 4-3 defense.

If Bonitto went to a team that just told him to "go to the ball" he could be an impact player.
