which is why he's more suited as a 3-4 DE


I kind of assumed we were going to try to get a heavier guy for the DE opposite Jordan since Jordan is only like 280.

Hicks is your other DE.

The only question is if Bunkley can be that Nt. I think he can. I mean that in I think he can enough to where I don't want to use my first pick on that position. I'd be perfectly fine with picking up another NT in the 3rd or 4th though

there's nothing to historically to back Bunkley as a 3-4NT. He doesn't fit the mold physically or skill set either. I'd love it if he was THE guy. Just don't see it. Are we getting to consensus on this point?

FWIW, I asked KC Joyner (the football scientist) of ESPN if he thought Bunkley would be a possible fit as a 3-4 NT, here is his response:

@Buzwa He's probably a better fit as a 4-3 UT but has enough power and ability to be a quality 3-4 NT.

very interdasting, I want him to be the answer there, or at least part of it, just doesn't look like the most likely path to me.

If no NT free agents or high draft picks we can assume that's the plan. A 1st Rder or significant UFA NT and more likely to see him at DE
