To add a word on this class of tweeners...

 

IMO, every single tweener in this draft has high bust potential.  "Tweener Purgatory" (to borrow a similar phrase to what some were saying about QBs last year.)

 

Most if not all would fail in a traditional RDE role.

 

Randy Gregory, I believe, has he best chance of success regardless of scheme.  He's got the length to play at either RDE or rush ROLB and in a hybrid LEO role.  His length means he can disrupt and get pass breakups even if he doesn't get home.

 

Outside of Gregory, the best pass rushers to emerge from this draft may be surprises who don't come from the top "big names."

 

Beasley's first step could also make him viable at RDE.  Dupree could also play RDE but needs work.

 

IMO Harold needs to play OLB.  In our scheme, he'd probably be a better OTTO.  A guy you'd want to move around to have the most success.

 

So, I suppose Fowler has the highest "bust" potential IMO.  If nothing more than being considered as a #3 pick.  I'd take him, but to be used more like Harold and move him around.  That role, IMO, isn't worth the #3 pick.  Given the bust rate for tweeners, that would be the most risky pick we could possibly make. That's why I simply don't see us going that route over Williams/Cooper.
