We are in 3 or 4 DTs that are higher on the board. He would be a perfect DE in a 3-4 scheme. Unfortunately we run a 4-3.
If we are going to have a 341lb athletic DT, why not a 290+lb athletic SDE. (sorry forgot the blue font)
In all seriousness though, I was able to find 2 DE's at 290+ that currently in a 4-3 scheme at an extremely high level. Leonard Williams at USC (doubles at DE/DT), and Mario Edwards at Fla St. So it is possible. I would also imagine that Robert Nkemdiche(sp?) at Ole Miss will end up about that size. I know they are all freak athletes, but with Roseboro's frame if he still has anywhere close to his 4.7 40 time, that would make him faster than some of the DB's we have started in recent years.
