Sacrilege might be the cry but could Bowers be the best fit for our defense at No3?
Looking at the roster we've Williams who's had an outstanding year, Troup who potentially could be a very useful NT, and Carrington, the archetypical LE.
Thinking of our defense of a few years ago containing Bruce-Ted-Phil with Pat joining in the fun, you wonder whether Da'Quan might be the best option.
1) As we've not settled on either a 3-4 or a 4-3 defensive alignment, Bowers has the ability to effectively play in both as a 3-4 DE or as a 4-3 RE.
2) He's had one outstanding season only but the same can be said of many prospects
3) He often lined up on the left side, so is very effective as a run stopper but was initially only a situational rusher. He also played a lot of DT.
4) 15.5 sacks. When the lights came on, they really did. Has also played through pain, not just physical but psychological of losing his father and also his mentor, Gaines Adams.
A future defensive line of Bowers-Williams-Carrington, with Troup coming in, looks extremely attractive as a line of Bowers-Williams-Troup-Carrington looks a very good looking 4-3 line to.
If his knee is ok, I would certainly not be unhappy if he was drafted by the Bills and actually feel he might be a better option than any other DL for us.
