I've never claimed that Ted Thompson is infallible to error. See Nick Perry and "where does he belong now on our roster? Also.... see almost our entire DL. Does that excite you in terms of our current roster? A lot would have to jell this season for that DL to turn up effectively. I see a load of pieces and not much to describe as a whole.
From "a Scouting Report" on Nick Perry:
** " Played right defensive end in Monte Kiffin’s four-man front Tampa-2 defense where he is expected to be one of the four defenders up front to pressure the quarterback. "
** " May be[ best suited for a 4-3 scheme. "
Nick Perry isn't a tweener as much as he's best suited at DE in a 4-3 'D'.
Somehow Ted Thompson fell in love with him. By all means ...Ted Thompson may pick your guy.
