Wharton vs Damien Lewis

Well that is our best OL versus our tiniest DL.

$50M+ tiniest DL

I still don't know how he fits in this defensive scheme and I'm starting to get borderline panicked that the unofficial depth charts continue to list him as the starting NT because that is just not going to work.

Turk was the ultimate panic/overpay move once Milton chose NE

Essentially a much more expensive Shy Tuttle I fear

I think he's a good player, but I see him as a rotational pass rushing specialist in a 4-3 front. He's just too small to hold up against the run being an every down player and I don't know that he has the juice or the length to move outside to a 3-4 DE. We'll see. I'm definitely curious to see how Evero is going to use him but his track record utilizing tweener types isn't exactly comforting.

I know. He is a DE in our scheme. I don't get it either.

I don't get Evero's obsession with lighter, quicker nose tackles. It's hard enough to find a giant that can consistently hold up to double teams. That's already a bit of a unicorn. It's the biggest hurdle to fielding a good 3-4 DL IMO. But now you want to find a lighter, quicker guy who can do it? Yeah, okay... good luck with THAT. Now you're talking about the unicorn of all DL unicorns.

Brother, you don't end up 32nd in rushing defense accidentally. It takes work.

I'd imagine BB is spending most of the time clogging the middle.  That's what we paid him for.  I know the depth chart says differently but come game day I'd bet BB is logging the most minutes at NT. I am concerned we overpaid for Wharton...
