The Chiefs might be a good source for a top DE this year. Their offense forces opposing teams to pass a lot, so the opportunities should be there. Steve Spagnuolo is their new DC, and we saw what he did with the Giants when they had that string of awesome IDP DEs.
So, the notable holdovers from the 3-4 defense:
So, the notable holdovers from the 3-4 defense:
- Chris Jones: My guess: DT. Played 3-4 DE last season... DE on Ourlads, DT on Rotoworld. Possible great option at DT, likely to give a lot of interior pressure.
- Tanoh Kpassagnon: My guess: DE. Played 3-4 OLB last season... DE on Rotoworld, OLB on Ourlads. DE size, seems like a natural fit there.
- Breeland Speaks: My guess: DE. DE on Rotoworld, OLB on Ourlads. Maybe slightly undersized, but seems like a DE to me.
- Alex Okafor: DE. New 3-year, $18M contract (8.8 guaranteed). Had a decent season in NO in 17 until injury. DE on Ourlads and Rotoworld
- Emmanuel Ogbah: DE. DE on Rotoworld, not shown on Ourlads yet. Very good rookie season, injuries second season, disappointing third season.
