[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 823978"] That would be expected, the frequency of which to be determined. 3-4 edge players fall roughly into three groups, illustrated by some Packer examples. 1. Bigger/stronger who can move inside in nickel/dime (e.g., Peppers) 2. Smaller/quicker who attack with speed and technique (e.g., Matthews once upon a time). 3. Tweeers (e.g., a healthy Perry or the current, bigger version of Fackrell), who have good size to hold the edge on the strong side but not quite the combination of traits that could move him inside in nickel/dime. Categories 2. and 3. are commonly found at 4-3 DE. None of this is particularly revelatory. Z. Smith fits category 1. I liked Rashan Gary as a fit in this category, but that was chilled a bit when you noted he was starting his own agency. With Z. Smith on board, I withdrawl that choice. It goes to show how mock drafting is somewhat futile until the FA signings come in as noted previously. It was an old habit from the Thompson days when nothing was expected to happen this time of year. [/QUOTE]
