I simply disagree. If Wilfork doesn't fit into your D, you adjust your D.
We would take Suh, based on skillset alone, as he's a 3 tech.
I've seen way too many D's fail due to attempting to play 3 tech types all across the front line.
You have some ideas in your head that may be great in theory but they don’t match up with what is going on in reality. Wilfork only played for 3-4 base teams and went 21 in draft if I remember correctly. Ngata and Hampton drafted by 3-4 teams. Penetrating 1 gap DT’s go higher in the draft because that is a more valuable, disruptive and coveted skill set.
