re: will hicks play DE?

On the no pass rush thing, he had 6.5 sacks his second college year and showed plenty of penetration in the few snaps he had last year. To say he has no pass rush is blatantly false.
Actually here is a snippet about him:
"Hicks projects to be a third-down, pass-rusher type at first, with the potential to develop into an every-down player"
LINK
It was the run he was questionable with and he seemed to do well with that in college(44 tackles in his second season) and with us.
I'll give you he may not have played NT, but as I've been saying Bunkley and Hicks are the type of NT Ryan likes. Jenkins is going to be the run stopping specialist.

And it has been discussed on this board a lot already how only really Ratliff in Dallas fits that description of "what Ryan likes" from his stops. Ryan inherited a rare breed small standout and used him because he is smart enough to build the defense around the talent. The Saints didn't trade two fourth rounders to take a guy who will not play a lot more snaps quickly at NT than Hicks will. Hicks, on the other hand, is clearly exciting as a DE in the 3-4 with his versatile skill set.
