He needs some coaching up on pad level and needs to add more mass to become a better bull rusher, but man can he add some juice to a lineup. He's also pretty damned stout against the run.

He kind of fits in that no-man's land for us though. He may or may not be a top 32 guy but he's a top 48 guy. So, do you take him in 1 because he's not likely there at 63.
That's why I keep circling around ONL

I just think it's damn likely he's there at the back of 2 and we just don't have the picks (with plenty of need) to be moving up.

I could see us moving the Thuney 4th to get into 5 this year and go after a RB, but I don't really see a good justification for moving up. And with the depth of the DL class, I don't love the idea of reaching a bit either.

I mean if you came out of that draft with Harmon, Ersery and ONL with those first 3 picks, I don't think that's necessary demanding miracles and it's a KILLER haul. If not Harmon, Scourton.

I agree with you that Sanders is caught in between but more than anything I feel like there are closer analogues to him that WILL be there at the back of 2 than there are at DE.
