Something about Buckeyes who play in the secondary give me a warm tingly feeling.

Do you see Edmunds as exclusively an edge guy or could he play inside as well?
"I wouldn't take him for a conditional 7th. His next contract will pay him more than he could possibly contribute.".

Noted Brain Genius Malk, Summer 2018.

I think he can probably do both. I see him as an Anthony Barr type that could fit really in any defense.

I might swap Okoronkwo to edge and Vander Esch to linebacker.

I also have no idea what to make of Mata'afa. He ain't playing DT in the NFL and he lined up there plenty at Washington.
KFFL refugee.

I came into this thread to see if I'd like any of the mid-round edge guys. Watched a bunch of tape and my major takeaway was "I wonder if Lawler tackles well enough in the open field to be a good special teamer".

This EDGE class...
