Wharton is a natural fit to transition to DE on 1st and 2nd downs, IMO.

He's miscast as a DT. If you got Mathis and Wyatt to go with Nnadi and Jones, I think you immediately get to work on transitioning Wharton to DE who occasionally kicks inside on 3rd downs.

I definitely think they need another DE though. But lets take a look at the defensive line after that mock.

DT: Jones, Wyatt, Mathis, Nnadi, Wharton, Saunders, Stallworth
DE: Clark, Williams, Kaindoh, Danna, Herring

Now the first thing that stands out is that we have to many bodies at DT and not enough at DE. Add Ingram to that DE group and it starts to look a little better. But that DT group if you cut it off at Wharton? ****. That's a TON of pressure coming up the middle.

CBS' Ryan Wilson just dropped this mock

29 Wyatt
30 Dotson
50 Woolen
62 Tolbert
94 Phidarian Mathis
103 Sam Williams

Not bad at all..I like the positional choices, although the names may change a little

So, if a contract is fully guaranteed how is the team protected from giving a bunch of money to someone and then that someone just be like I'm injured and get paid without doing anything?

The more mocks and stuff you read...I dunno. I'm not sure what they do at DE. This just screams last years LT dilemma all over again.

Which is why could only see teams giving out 2-3 year deals if they’re guaranteeing the money.

Which is essentially what they’re doing now via the signing bonus mechanism.

It’s a distinction without a difference.

Not even remotely the same. There are plenty of DEs (into round 3) that would fit, and neither of them have to be day 1 starters like LT last year.

They've got Frank Clark's corpse and shit at DE. They need someone there to play big snaps though. There's a big drop from the top 4 DE's to the next tier. I'm not sure what they do there. Maybe just throw numbers at it and see what sticks?

Depth and rotation is basically the best bet at this point. Strength in numbers and see what pans out.

LMAO

O.City would’ve been scared to draft Oweh, Phillips, Ojulari, and Rousseau last year too.

Yeah - I think y'all missed O's point.

And for once he actually has one that makes sense.

Well he was just saying he was out on Karlaftis because he saw somebody make a Breeland Speaks comparison, so it’s kind of hard to keep up…
