This is what make Jordan so good. He beats you up front not out wide keeping the QB in the pocket.

some DE with sand in their pants in the draft that I like are

Not at #11
Taco Charlton DE Michigan 6052 272 4.87 #33 Sr,
Solomon Thomas SDE Stanford 6021 275 4.84 #90 rSo

Day 2 - 3
Trey Hendrickson DE Florida Atlantic 6036 270 4.82 #9 Sr
Keionta Davis, DE, Chattanooga 6030 274 4.86 #93 rSr
Isaac Rochell DE/DT ND 6043 282 4.86 #90 Sr

Keionta Davis and Isaac Rochell both on day 3 really peek my interest.

In FA nothing flashy but solid all around play for a rotation with 3 down potential

Jabaal Sheard, EDGE, New England Patriots (27) / 6'3' / 265 / Rd. 2 (37) / CLE

long (33" arms), thickly built (set the edge). Powerful bull rusher (natural strength), vast repertoire of counter moves ( phone booth master) The only real issue is the natural playing weight of 265 ( run right at him). So solid second level run support is key to make him work. But he might be the best speed guy out there at 4.69 speed without losing containment all the time. A key to a solid rotation at DE

I like Rochell but Sheard would be hard to pass on at the right price.
