No, he wouldn't... he's a 4-3 DT, we're running a 3-4... now, if you're arguing that he might make a smooth transition to 3-4 DE, I might even agree with that possibility... but I don't really see a need at DE for the Boys right now...

I'm not saying he's a stiff, or has bust written all over him, in fact I think I see a little Russell Maryland in him... but Russell in his prime wouldn't have been a good fit in the Cowboys' defense these days, either...

And as others have noted, I think you went a little overboard on the pass rushers there... I happen to think that the players we have on hand will probably step up and make more plays in Wade Phillips' attacking schemes... that's not to say I don't think the Boys should draft ANY pass rushers this year, but spending 4 of 10 picks seems a bit obsessive...

I'd suggest substituting a late round OL or two for some of those late round pass rushers...

I've gotta agree with the crowd about the WR issue, too... with Glenn and Owens getting old, and with the INCREDIBLE wealth of talent at WR in this year's draft, adding a wideout at some point in this draft (preferably rather early in the draft) makes perfect sense... the smart team takes advantage of the deepest positions in any draft; this year, that's WR and DB...
Smarter than the av-er-age bear...
