I think a 3rd Edge player would get on the field a lot more than that.   Walker can move inside on occasion, and Walker and Allen need to rest at times.  We certainly don't want either of those guys to pay every single play.   Plus, injuries do happen.  Edge is such a valuable position, if there is a can't-miss guy at #17, and I wouldn't mind taking him at all.

This, Id love Latu, Turner, or Verse.  I think all 3 will be good players in this league.  You could have a 3 man rotation on the edge and keep them more fresh.  Could also use all 3 on passing downs.  If we draft any of those 3 he would see much more action than just 3rd downs.  You need more than 2 edge rushers.  I was concerned about Latus medicals but if our doctors check him out and there is no issues there he might be player one for me.  He is the best pass rusher in this class and his athletic ability was a little bit of a question but he aced that with a 9.19 ras.

(2) Kent Lee Platte on X: "Laiatu Latu is a DE prospect in the 2024 draft class. He scored an unofficial 9.19 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 134 out of 1637 DE from 1987 to 2024. Splits projected https://t.co/cYYpZ2AOcC https://t.co/NaoKtbo5dC" / X (twitter.com)


Production in the blue as he was by far the best pass rusher last year.

The best and safest players are always the ones that have the best production, in the blue and the ones that have a very high ras.

This is the concern with Latu
