Here's one thing, the way you all look at edge players for a 4-3 is going to be vastly different from the 3-4 and he's a player at 4-3 end. That said, he falls behind a substantial list of players for me to say, "yeah i'll take him in 1." One thing we're not 100% sure on yet even is whether Spags will implement a 4-3 Under, something he hasn't traditionally done. That would take all talk of using a LEO/Wide 9 type on a regular basis out of play. It's another reason I'm not so certain the Chiefs retain Ford. They may tag him, but I find it more likely he'd be traded in that scenario than kept.

Were you on the Polite train? I thought I remembered you fired up about one of the edge rushers and either pumping the brakes on Polite in favor of Ferguson or vice versa. I'll never manage to find the conversation again by I suspect I just flipped the names.
That said, if so, I'm not a huge Polite guy in this defense either. Does he have the size to play the Leo effectively? Awareness in space to play SLB? Seems to not fit Spags scheme as well as others.
He does seem to be a ton like Ford in a lot of ways and I'm really intrigued by what Ford could do as a Leo in this system, but I'd still move him for a high 2nd due to cap concerns. If it came to a situation where I thought we could get Polite with our 1st and move Ford for the pick we could use on Adderley, I'd go that route and be pretty content.
