What's his strength (no pun intended) - pass rush or run stuffer?

On paper, quite happy with the draft so far.

[jimmybones]

Gotta be a 3-4 DE right? Doesn’t seem athletic enough to be an edge or big enough to be a NT type of DT. Dean Lowry role?

[Frank Nova]

Gotta be a catch somewhere, all these glowing reports suggest he should’ve been the 1st DT taken, not a 4th rounder.. Sounds like an exciting pick tho. Stout DL are very much needed on this roster.

[MVP2110]

Seems like a pash rush specialist, he was the lightest DT in the draft but had the 3rd fastest 40 and the quickest 10 yard split. Could maybe see him platoon with Slaton who is basically a run down only guy

[jimmybones]

Time will tell obviously, but they are for sure investing in a the front 7

Clark- Wyatt- Wooden
Gary- Quay- Van Ness

He weighs like 270. There's zero chance he's a DT.

They just said he's going to play DT

Lance Zerlein who is pretty damn respected had Wooden targeted in rounds 2-3. Seems like a good get

Are there any DT's that weight 270 that play DT?

In 4-3 schemes its a lil on the light side but definitely viable.

No way is he a DT in a 3-4. He's a DE

Sounds like the Lowry replacement, which I like. Get more athletic there.

[jimmybones]

I think the confusion is that they sometimes call one of the 3-4 DE’s a DT… have to assume he’ll play on the line but obviously not as a NT. Which to me is a DE, but kinda semantics at this point.

I believe I’ve seen starters listed as:

DT/NT/DE

The DT is still basically a DE

I’ve met my quota for the year for defensive line semantics

[Matches Malone]

He's a good special teamer as well.
