One of two every down DTs, Buckner being the other; Mayock and others think Bell was the best cover safety in the draft; and Thomas arguably the most well rounded receiver...

Where does this Kikaha can't contain edge come from?

Kikaha is 250 pounds, TE's/FB's can block him out of his shoes... He has never shown to be able to set the edge in college. His whole claim to fame was that he was a terrific pass rusher, not an every down player.

So while starting in the NFL up until his ankle injury was Kikaha was "valuable" against the run, and I've seen plenty of DE big and small get blocked by TE RBs & FBs what's your point because I on numerous occasions "set the edge"

Kikaha was a 250 pound 3-4 OLB LB! With Dennis Allen, we're transitioning back to a 4-3 which means a move back to DE which is what he played in college. And show me A 250 pound NFL DE who is able to consistently set the edge?

Its doesnt matter who you take in these rounds. Some will be good others gone in a couple of years. Looks like we went with the guy with a big upside but bust potential rather than a safer lower cieking higher floor

I'd rather have a project at the position that requires the least amount of technique and intuition (DT) than say, trying SLB at corner or Fortt at LB

He's quick, takes up space, and can probably give us 25 snaps a game as a rookie

You do know we ran majority 4-3 last year even before Rob Ryan got the boot but ok with Kikaha starting DA decided to put him in space terrible idea
