Gimme myles in the 1st at leo, taco in the 2nd at strong side DE, tyus bowser in the 3rd at sam lb and I'd be happy.
I think Ejuan Price could be good value/depth in the mid to late rounds as a pass rush specialist from the weak side DE

Charles Harris is probably my favorite edge rusher that is in the mold of the LEO. The guy flies off the edge and can win by capturing the corner or using his patented counter spin move. At 6'3" and 260 lbs, he's exactly the same size as chris clemons, cliff avril, and all the other LEOs Seattle has/had.
You want Missouri's Charles Harris on your roster. pic.twitter.com/QKkDcm1HD9

One of the most underrated players in the draft right now.

NFL.com's Buck Brooks believes Tennessee edge rusher Derek Barnett possesses "nearly identical skills" to Charges edge rusher Joey Bosa.
Brooks claims the two share a "blue-collar game built on grit, hustle, and technique." We think Bosa has far more bend and overall athleticism than Barnett, but the foundation of the Vols' pass rusher's game is laid out there. Brooks suggests Barnett should be in the mix with Myles Garrett as the top pass rusher on the board. That is extremely high praise, and Barnett's consistent production since his first season can be used to back that up

He is a beast, I would be happy with him, Adrian said Taco at De.. What a combo...
"One AFC executive compared the 6-foot-3, 265-pound end to Terrell Suggs and said NFL teams will love the "high-motor, violent" pass rusher.
Tennessee's all-time sack leader, Barnett showed no weaknesses up front and was a terror against the run (52 TFL career, second-most in school history)."

Yeah Barnett just seems like a guy lynch would love...none stop motor and plays aggressive.

Doesn't have the speed they've been emphasizing in every interview, tho. That's the only thing I don't like about Barnett. Nothing explosive about his game, and im partial to explosiveness at the corner. By all accounts, so are our new head coach and GM.
With Ingram getting tagged, everything shifts towards the draft now. Going to have to grab a guy early if we want an immediate impact player. Charles Harris just became that much more important in my book.

never gave Charles Harris a look. Will do some studying now given the praise he is getting here. Would be nice to find a gem in the middle of the 1st so we can trade back and accumulate more picks

Ingram tagged, and Kirk cousins and a 1st round swap looking more and more possible, id have to imagine we go WR at 17 if Corey Davis is there. That leaves us looking at a 2nd rounder for the LEO of our dreams with depth later in the draft. Who's still available at 34? Harris probably, who else?

Carl Lawson, maybe Tim Williams but there could be some character concerns with him.
