That might push him down a bit more than people think because he's coming in looking like a situational pass rusher that needs to build his body. I'm not sure you take a one-trick pony in the 1st.

I think that's a completely reasonable take, and I get why someone like Foskey has more of an appeal. I think there's little doubt that from Day 1 he's getting on the field more frequently than a guy like McDonald, and that's as good a reason as any to choose Foskey. I guess my take is more focused on rounding out the skillset of our DEs overall. I just keep thinking what are we missing that would give OTs fits. Probably my ideal situation is R1 we get someone who fits the scheme, a power rusher who stones the run and offers a little pass rush, and then we double dip later with an undersized, situational speed rusher. Everyone's happy.
