There are a couple of players who are pretty obvious wrong pieces for our new defense. Can anybody out there make a case to KEEP Will Smith, Shanle or Vilma? I know Vilma is the easiest.

oh yay! Another one of THESE threads.
I think you mistakenly posted out loud again.
Or it may have more to do with the fact that 80% of the threads on the front page are about our defense, Vilma and Smith, the draft (and therefore also about our defense) and who will or won't fit into the new system.
I think Shanle is as good as gone, Vilma there can be a case made but I am staying away from that one. Smith I can't see how he fits in this 3-4 at all.
The only justification I see is if we don't switch to a pure 3-4. And when I say that I mean, we swap in some 4-3 looks throughout the game a hand full of times. It makes sense honestly sense we are a team in transition to the 3-4. And some situations simply call for more bodies on the LOS
Will Smith is big and strong, but not great at rushing the passer, sounds like a perfect DE in the 3-4.
He's big but he's anything but strong. This has to be one of the biggest misconceptions on this board.
If he was so big and strong why do we rank 28th at defending runs to his side, yet 2nd on defending runs to Jordan's side?
Was he 28th out of at least 64 defensive ends? Do you have a link for this? I'd like to read more about it.
