TimKrumrieFan Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 The DL went from bare to good depth and very exciting. I really love the abilities that Willis, Lawson, Glasgow and even Billings this year can give us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing he starts out as a LB in 3rd down & other passing situations and they bring him from a number of different slots- possibly Willis as well, although I also see Willis and Chris Smith subout Johnson to bring more pressure. I think Smith's being over-looked and they may be able to draw real value from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they definitely think he can bring something considering how tight we are with our picks. Also they said that Lawson will be in DL room with a little time in LB room so I'm guessing he's going to do DE more than LB early on. It makes sense with Burfict/Vigil/Minter/Vinny at LB already. There are more snaps available at DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
