And if he turns out to be like Wilkerson, Jordan, or Watt as a 5-tech?
There are two players who might end up being special at the position:
Shawn Oakman and Leonard Williams.
Williams is the power guy with some explosiveness but the ability to overwhelm an offensive lineman with pure strength. Much more traditional in build at 6'5" and 300 pounds.
Oakman isn't as solidly built but is a lot longer and possesses a powerful punch. He's super explosive, especially for a 6'9" and 280+ pound guy. He looks like a bigger Aldon Smith but is just as athletic.
I actually would not mind either of those two, it'll give us the dominant 5-tech that is needed to have a dominant 3-4 defense.
