PIZ Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Steve Wyche has him going #12 to Denver: NFL Network Mock I also read somewhere that Gil Brandt says he is a lock to go top 10. How does this effect the Bills, if at all? Could they be looking at him at #11? Why just because he is a big DE, is he destined to be in a 3-4?

ans4e64 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 He isn't "destined" to be in a 3-4, but given how many teams are now playing that defense, along with the fact that a 4-3 end's primary purpose is rushing the passer, it looks like the 3-4 is where he's going to end up.

Because in a 3-4 you aren't expected to get to the QB as much as in a 4-3. You are expected to anchor your position, hopefully take up two linemen a la Richard Seymour, and making it easier for the rushing LB to get in and holding your own against the run. I've heard speculation of him going to Green Bay at #9 and Denver at #12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Yep, he is a 3-4 DE Actually he projects as a 3-4 end. In college he played in a 4-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Buffalo rotates it's DL, Tyson Jackson could rotate in LE on run downs and move inside on pass downs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
