Personally, if we do draft two edge rushers, the lesser talented edge rusher has to be more versatile. I'd let the pre-season play out, and the guy that's not as good at rushing the passer would be tried out at Sam. The guy that's the better edge rusher would stay at edge rusher.

That is true, but how would you know which was going to be the less talented edge rusher, so how would you know which needed to be more versatile?

Take the Bengals for instance, they drafted Jordan Willis a round before Lawson, but Lawson is the better pass rusher.

Bottom line, we need guys who can rush the passer, bring them in, let them compete and worry about the semantics afterwards.

Yup, let them compete and may the best pass rusher start. If we can land Davenport and this guy, assuming we can't get Landry, I think that's as good as getting Chubb. You have two young and athletic pass rushers that the coaching staff can develop. Two vs one should also provide depth. The way the NFL is turning into basketball, and the rules favoring the pass so much -- a 7-4-0 defense (4 linebackers and 7 defensive backs) may now be a real possible defensive call in a 3rd and very long situation.

I'd start them both. In sub, they just edge rush. In base, Landry = Leo, and Obo = Sam. We can go bigger on the edges if we have to (Eli/Solly).

If we get Landry and Obo, add them to Cassius and to Attaochu and I think that's a pretty deep edge rusher corps. Personally, I don't think a lot of teams will run on us, simply because they will be behind and trying to catch up. McKinnon, plus a healthy Garcon and hopefully a rejuvenated Joe Williams and a bolstered offensive line will make this offense a high scoring machine, in my opinion. With Jimmy, they have the look and feel of the '94 niner offense with Ricky as McKinnon, you had Rice and Taylor (Garcon and Goodwin), Brent Jones as Kittle, and Bart Oats as Richburg. On paper, this offense looks high octane. I wouldn't mind this years first three picks being Landry, Obo, and a middle linebacker.

Nice post.

I still think Roquan at 9 is the way to go. Add in Lorenzo Carter to play SAM and Ogbonnio Okoronkwo and a young CB and our D would be set.

Saleh brought that over in "chewing gum" in spades from Seattle.
Is anyone gonna take him in late first or he's a legit 2nd?
