    What position would Dareus or Fairley play?

    I assume 3/4 D end?

    Does this mean they replace Edwards, Stroud and Carrington?

    I surely wouldn't want them to start over Kyle Williams.

    Just want to be sure here. People are talking about them filling in a huge hole and I want to be sure to clarify what people are meaning.

    Stroud is a corpse. I think he's done.

    Edwards/Williams/Dareus to start

    Carrington, Troup, Keard? subbing in and out

    That's a nice platooning defensive line with some potential. I see a lot of versatility with guys like Williams and Dareus being able to play pretty much any position on the line.

      Yes, 3-4 DE, although there's some questions as to if Fairley is an appropriate fit for the position or not.

      3-4 defenses use a lot of different looks for their DL, and even your 3rd DE is important. If we drafted Dareus or Fairley, I could easily see them starting and Carrington/Edwards rotating in. Stroud probably won't be on the team come September.

        Dareus could play DT in a 4-3 or DE in a 3-4. He could even line up as a DE in a 4-3 if needed.

        Versatility is what makes him so attractive.

          I don't think you'd be utilizing Fairley's skill set as a DE in a 3-4 tbh.

              I am not all that sold on Edwards.

              Dareus can start over him.

                Do you see a line Carrington/Edwards/Dareus to start the season?

                  I don't think either Fairley or Dareus would be out of place at 34 DE, and both could slide inside for 4-man sets.

                    Can play DE or DT...
                    Depends.
                    Dareus is most versatile of any of the DL guys in the draft.
                    You could see a front with him at the DE in a 4-3 as well.....

                          So, just out of curisoity, y'all want to draft a 3-4 DE at #3 overall when it is debateable if one is needed?

                            Debatable? Worst in the league at stopping the run. Terrible at pressuring the QB. How is it debatable?

                              Debateable? did you watch the games this year? What debate? The Bills need DL help period. They could not stop the run or get to the QB either.
