[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 662967, member: 4199"] He doesn't really have the height you covet at DE in a 3-4 though. It's also more of an interior position than edge. Even if we end up playing a lot more 3-4 base, he'll be attacking more B gaps than C gaps. He might also be great as a shaded (1-technique) NT in "heavy nickel." I saw a lot of shade in his highlights. Compared to that, his relatively short stature is an asset at nose. He should be able to anchor better and be harder to get under. That is a huge win. I also tend to project college players to their college position when they go to the pros, unless there is a very good reason not to. Ergo, Bradford at OLB/EDGE made sense to me, because that was his college position. See how it shakes out. vs Randall being played at safety in college because that defense was built around FS and they wanted to feature their best player, so okay, move him to corner. And finally, comparing him to Daniels is appropriate and inappropriate. He seems to have the motor and the grit, so the comparison is fair. Saying that he should thus be a DE like Daniels is not. Physically, Daniels is not an optimal 3-4 DE. He's a 3-tech 4-3 tackle all the way. He's succeeding in our scheme more because he's so damn good. Also with as much nickel as we play, he gets a lot of time as a 3-tech 4-3 tackle. [/QUOTE]
