I believe that he plays OLB in the Chargers base 3-4 and DE in their Nickel.  Seems like he’d have much better value to a 3-4 team. 

He plays DE when they are in Nickel, which is out base D. Fit is probably fine. He has all the same measurables as Jerry Hughes. Dude has a non stop motor and is all over the field when you watch him play. Def more of an OLB, but he still fits here.

Meh.....

 

Take that money and put it towards Chandler Jones. We need proven players that are difference makers.

 

We have enough jags.

This ^^^^^^^^^*

This team is obsessed with having as many C- Defense ends as possible. Stop bringing in and rotating 6 or 7 of them and find 1 good one.

Per article, Bills were interested in this guy coming out of college.

I agree with this approach finally. It’s time to get a guy that when the playoffs come and you need that play maker, he can step up. This D has a ton of good players and some greats, White is elite, but we haven’t had an elite Dlineman since Mario Williams.

Nwosu went in the area where they were drafting in the second round that year before they traded those two picks to move up for Josh Allen. So it makes sense that he may have been their target in the second before the trade up. 

 

Nwosu, Donte Jackson, Christian Kirk, Connor Williams, DJ Chark are all guys drafted in that area who are upcoming free agents. Those are the guys they missed out on as a result of the trade. No regerts there. 

 

They missed out on Fred Warner, Sam Hubbard, and Mark Andrews because they traded up for Edmunds. Def a little remorse there, but the thought process made sense. 

[MrEpsYtown]

Interesting to look at the list of 2018 pre draft guys they had interest in since a bunch of the names on the list will be free agents this offseason.

I guess he’d fill a need, but he’s definitely not an optimum fit here.  We’d be bidding against teams that can utilize his full skill set and while he seems competent as a pass rusher he has not proven to be a difference maker in that regard.  The projection to how he’d do full time as a DE is not straight forward either.  Maybe he improves and does well because it’s all he focuses on or maybe the additional exertion and pounding hinders him.  If he’s really looking at a 5/60 contract, then I’m looking elsewhere.

Epenesa and Basham heading into their second year and Epenesa into his third. Time for these guys to start performing. 

 

Please for the love of god RE-READ your statement above, comprehend it please.......hence the Huh???

[FilthyBeast]

Other than familiarity with Mahomes and the Chiefs, I'm not sure this is a move I would like because of the production on paper and it seems it would just be another average type of player added a position that truly needs an overhaul and at least one true proven playmaker.

Yes, the dreaded typo. I guess it was a real hard mystery for some to figure out I meant Basham, Rousseau and Epenesa.

It's baffling that after everything that has happened with this team and not being able to sniff Mahomes again that they would want to double down on 'rotation' and invest in players like this.

 

So hopefully it's not true, or if it has any credence it's a move that will happen in addition to bringing in a marque veteran pass rusher.

adding to the rotation stable.
