Also; how much do you think Leonard Floyd weighs? Floyd was 240 coming into the league
What about the guy we've been trying to replace since 2019, Dee Ford?
Ford was more of a third down pass rusher and Floyd sucked against the run, one of the reasons they cut him. It's not that I don't think that Jalon can ball, I just don't think he's the fit here. I'm all about BPA but the player needs to make sense for what the team wants to do.
Ford wasn't a base end. Armstead played end in base then kicked inside. Floyd was never signed to be a base end but when Yetur Gross Matos was injured we had no-one else.
Walker wouldn't be a base end here either. We could have YGM back as a big end in base (if he isn't cut) or draft a guy to play that Armstead role. Base end, move inside to nickel, like Jared Ivey or Jordan Burch.
^ This. Which is exactly why I said he would play the Will in base and rush the passer in Nickel
