[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 553080"] A Nix pick is really a 2015 pick for once Raji is shown the door...in the mean time we could use him at base 5-tech particularly against run-heavy teams. Much depends on whether he has a clean bill of health. The "athletic, rangy DE" thing as applied to the base D strikes me as on a par with the "interchangeable safety" concept...great if you have that personnel. Peppers would be that guy if we could wind back the clock a few years. It does not sound like McCarthy plans to throw him out there for 800 snaps this season. If we did not bring him to primarily rush the passer in nickel then I don't know what he's doing here. One supposes Datone Jones might show up. He's kinda that rangy, athletic weak side guy...if he can prove he's actually a football player. We'd have to play Daniels then on the strong side...that adds up to smaller and more athletic than in the past, I suppose, but Daniels may be a little undersized for the strong side spot. Given that Raji was never a great run stopper, backing Daniels-Raji-Boyd with Hawk-Jones makes for a physicality deficit between the tackles that I doubt could hold together against the run. We'd have to draft a physical ILB who can step in right away to make Daniels-Raji-Boyd plausible. Either that or we draft Hagemann or Tuitt, neither of whom I have much enthusiasm for...I doubt this will happen if for no other reason than fingers will be crossed that Boyd can be that guy. Nix would be the man-in-waiting for NT and a guy who could work in a reversion to Plan A (the big man front) if Boyd doesn't muscle up and/or the draft does not fall our way for the physical ILB.
