I personally think that Hali would be at his best in 3-4 defense.

What about his agility and change of direction. Do you remember when Fujita when he was shaken out of his shorts by a RB, left him standing there?

As long as he's quick enough not to let that happen, I'm with it.

Hope you're right about Hali cuz he would give us more options in the first two rounds of the draft!
