Exactly. Billings and Day are 2 down run stuffers. Onyemata will end up on specials teams for a few years while they try to turn him into a sub package DE.

I don't think so.

Onyemata might have the starting gig day 1. Richardson is the only one ahead of him for the base package DE spot, and Richardson was arguably the worst starting DE in the league (he was a UDFA walk on and got the start).

Ony in the base with Kikaha coming in on sub packages would keep everyone fresh.

If he plays well in TC Payton would give him the nod if he earns it. Throw Kikaha in the rotation and the DE position looks much improved. Richardson, Fairley and Davison are going to push the pocket and let our ends make plays in the back field.
