Was thinking about this... Denver destroyed Brady with the two pass rushing hammers in Von Miller and Ware. I realize they run a 3-4, so we can't replicate that exactly. So, since we are going 4-3, and given the weakish/old current line (love Kyle but he's probably done), seems to me if we had an elite pass rushing end that that would be a good use of the #10. Is Derek Barnett worthy?
DE at #10?

Re: DE at #10?
It makes a lot of sense, but I'm really hesitant to pull for a team that has an iffy drafting history to make high picks based on need. Seems like the safe route is to just pick the guy with the least chance of sucking. I know that's really pessimistic, but we're talking about guys who drafted EJ Manuel at #13."Miami played pretty damn good today and still got their ass kicked."

Re: DE at #10?
I'm looking forward to seeing what Hughes and Lawson can do as ends in a four man front. We've already seen Hughes opposite Mario, obviously, and that wasn't too shabby.YardRat Wall of Fame

Re: DE at #10?
Well I'm not sure you give up on Shaq Lawson that fast, he was projected as 3-4 edge setter or 4-3 base end, and notable against the run (vital for Tampa-2) :
You have to give him the benefit of the doubt (imho for only his 2nd year), because of his shoulder & Ryan's crap defense, and I'm not sure you can't expect better from Hughes under Waufle back in a 4-3. I wouldn't go DE, imho need to replace Gilmore (money) or Aaron Williams (injury) real quick in this draft for a coverage oriented defense.

Originally posted by Mace View PostI'd agree with you about Hughes, but we're not as complete a team as KC or Denver are. That's the kind of stuff you can do when you have few compelling holes to fill. Not at #10, we just can't afford it.
That's the world I am operating in assuming we cut TT

Yes I would gladly take him at 10
