I think it is because he has better upside and versatility. Fowler has instincts that you cannot learn - he is a natural. He is a guy you can move around to confuse the O-line. He can line up as a LDE, RDE, DT and OLE. He does need to get stronger and get better recognition against the run. He does tend to charge into the backfield. But he is good 2 point and hands in the dirt - also pretty good at coverage. Just having him there can give the opposing o-line headaches. Some compare him to a young Suggs.
