He clearly best suits the DE position in the 3-4 base and his skill-set and physical traits would've been somewhat wasted as an NT.

Its like I wrote it myself! He's a perfect prospect for a 3-4 DE.

Jordan, Bunkley, Jenkins, Hicks, Coleman, Johnson and Smith might give us the best D-line we've had in a very long time. Will Smith might be the weakest link in that group. Wow.

Don't worry.......Smith might not make the final roster from the looks of things.
Also, I always thought Hicks would pair nicely with Cam Jordan and give us two dominant book ends. I still see him playing DT occasionally depending on the package. I am very excited to see how much more he progresses after last years huge leap.
