I'm not saying that he couldn't potentially get back to being effective vs the pass again when healthy, but he wasn't doing much in that area for us this season. Mostly he was playing a run-stuffing nose tackle role  - a guy who could eat dbl teams and occasionally slow down or tackle a back near the LOS. He makes our LBs look better when he's in because he sometimes alters the RB path and buys them a split second to adjust.

I was thinking of last year. When I would argue he was a potential cut and people told me he brought more than just a run stuffing NT.

Weren't you the one that told me he was playing hurt or with one arm or something? You playing both sides of the fence or what NYC lol

"when healthy" were key words seemingly skimmed over here

Yes.  Guilty as charged, though I did include the qualifier "when healthy."

Dareus was less effective vs the run and pass due to an elbow injury that kept him out for (i think) two games at tyhe top of the season.  Because he often made plays vs RBs and QBs with one arm as he was still engaged in or shedding a block, this injury hurt his performance. 

I really do straddle the fence on this one because I like the player and our run D hurts from his absence. 
I just slightly lean toward drafting a nose tackle  - unless he want to extend his contract and make ~12 mil per year for two years instead of 22.5 mil in one year.
