If Kancey's height/length issues have him sliding in the 2nd though, that's a guy I might be willing to move up for. Because unlike your Mazi Smith sorts, he's a guy who might be a difference maker.

Could Kancey be a Dre'mont Jones sort of interior pass-rusher? Yeah, I think he can be. And maybe a little better especially with Jones being able to draw some attention and maybe help him keep guys hands off him a bit.

If I've traded up for Murphy, though, I'm not also trading up for Kancey. It's just too much capital to throw at the DL when I still think we need a substantial infusion of talent/depth at WR and OL.

This board pretty routinely undersells the value of a 3 down 1 tech, imo. Mazi will demand double teams, which will single up the edges and CJ.


DJLN, this comment is purely for the sake of continuing the conversation and is not intended as shade or anything like that:
Kancey would play three technique and get destroyed on down run blocks. So you only play him in obvious passing situations? Replacing whom, exactly? Who is your four man front with Kancey? Are you moving CJ to one tech, so you can free up kancey to rush? Plus, frankly, I have reservations about a 280 pound d lineman with 30 inch arms and their ability to beat virtually any nfl guard.
