[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 653247"] Guion can play all 3 positions in the base line plus 3-tech in nickel/dime packages. Harrison adds little in the pass rush. He's a classic 350 lb. NT. And you have to wonder if he looked better than he is playing between Wilkerson and Williams. Do you really want to spend that money on a 2 down player that might not add much over Pennel, a guy who was pretty stout against the run, showed a couple of flashes in the pass rush, and was still on the developmental upswing as the season progressed? Consider the following career pass rush stats for Harrison using sportingcharts.com data: snaps: 1551 sacks: 1.5 hurries (if you happen to value that stat): 12 pass deflections: 0 Those are Raji-like pass rush numbers from recent years. With a projected base line of Guion (strong side)-Pennel-Daniels (weak side), I think there are bigger fish to fry (or perhaps "smaller" fish is more apt. ;)) Assuming Raji is gone, which is a fair assumption, there is a depth/rotational issue, but the D-Line play in base run defense looked pretty darn good last season, whether it was Raji or Pennel at the nose. I think Harrison's value-add would not justify the pay he'd get. A DE who can provide some pass rush would add more value, the guy Jones was supposed to be when he was drafted. Those guys are hard to find, and when you find them they cost cap or draft capital, so I don't hold out much hope that need will be filled. It's more realistic to think resources will be applied to more notable weaknesses. [/QUOTE]
