Dee Ford as a 3-4 stand up OLB? Perhaps they are roughly equal.

Dee Ford with his hand on the ground in a 4-3?  No, and the Chiefs have switched to that scheme.  Clark works with his hand on the ground and is better against the run. 

Besides, KC will never forgive Ford for his off sides penalty.

Didn’t Ford play a traditional 4-3 role in college and was asked to play stand up backer in KC? I may be wrong on that. Why not package those picks to move up for a player? Especially if Sweat is to fall as suggested? Ford + Sweat and an additional 20 million in cap seems like a better package deal than Clark + ? Since Houston is no longer with the team.
