Brown and Jackson pretty much protypical NTs. Brown started at NT last 2 seasons in 3-4. Jackson has only played NT in 3-4 in college. Brown could play any 3-4 line position but his quickness is suited for end. Our OLB are all best suited for 3-4 

 

 

That's gonna be a fun hole to dig out of if we can him and end up back in a 4-3 base. 

Honestly, I would be far less worried about that in terms of those IDL guys than I would our EDGE guys.

I respect the attitude Lewis plays with.

As an aside. Wasn't Wharton one of the lowest graded defenders against the Browns?

Edit: He was.

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.

He already played in a 3 man front and quite well….but go off on his true fit.

DLew is a massive human and probably our best lineman at the moment..Wharton was still a solid pickup and yea we massively overpaid for his services but that's just the reality when your a team with 7 consecutive losing seasons.  

Once the games count he'll show up. We might not get our $$ worth (top 10- 15) but he's undoubtedly a couple steps up from Tuttle. Him, Brown+Brown+ Robinson should make a very solid lineup in theory.

The Chiefs are primarily a 4-3 scheme under Spagnuolo, but they run a decent amount of 3 man front nickel formations.

I'm definitely not sure of how we're gonna use him in Evero's scheme but I predict that if we try to play him at NT he's gonna get bulldozed all over the field and it won't be his fault. It would just be an awful misusage of him.

Lewis punched the hell out of Wharton in that second rep. Legally imo and made d-Lew look like a savage lol

$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.

53M dollar guard too though
