I think what also complicates the pass rusher pool is that there are so may tweeners in this draft, and so many teams that now run 3-4 that will covet them.

Ten years ago, those guys had less value because they weren't good 4-3 fits.

Today, their value is inflated because of demand from 3-4 teams. So much so, OLBs are petitioning to be paid like RDEs when they get tagged, etc.

If we go there with our third pick instead of trading down, I hope we get a Justin Houston instead of another Akin Ayodele. Tweeners can be extremely risky if the fit misses.
