Defensive End

[AU-panther]

You almost need to split that list into weakside and strongside.  I'm not sure who we have to play LDE, especially on running downs.

Everyone is worked up about our run defense and looking at DTs, but you can make an argument that we have huge need at DE also.

Some of these guys, such as Uche aren't really DEs that you add to help your run defense.

DE is a position I am content with considering the CB, DT, LB and OL issues

This draft seems to have good but not great pass rushing DEs. It does seem lacking in the department of players who excel in both areas.

If his price keeps falling I'd say fug it, make a run at Clowney.

Brian Burns simply isn't a 4-3 DE. Honestly switching right back to a 4-3 immediately after investing a 1st round pick in a guy that can probably only play in a 3-4 seems like a bad idea, especially with the only other 2 pass rushers on the roster being much better 3-4 fits than 4-3.

Devil's advocate:  Von Miller was not either, but Denver ran a 4-3---they should use him the same way--

Greenard in the third--reminds me of CJ.

Why do you think Burns can't be a 4-3 DE?
