Through two seasons, Nick Perry has not developed into the OLB we had hoped. Injuries have been the constant. But so too has his play been against the run; he's been stout and a tough move for linemen. I'm curious as to what you think about this strategy:
Draft Dee Ford and move Perry to DE. Ford has prototypical 3-4 OLB size at 6'2" and 230-240 lbs. He's expected to run a 4.4. And he gets after QB's, producing 10.5 sacks, 14.5 TFL last year with a bum knee. His athleticism will be an upgrade over Perry.
Then, we'd move Perry to DE where he can play with his hand in the dirt, which he prefers, and won't be exposed in space. The downside is his size at 6'3" and 265 lbs. But, he looks a lot bigger on the field and could probably add the necessary bulk.
Thoughts?
