Van Ness is extremely interesting, he reminded me of a stronger but less athletic (watching film he looked less athletic, test in shorts might say otherwise) TJ Watt.
My big issue with Van Ness, is that he only had one move... the bull rush (of your only going to have one, that's a great one to have as you can pass rush or control the run with it), and he's basically perfected it (Kevin Greene would of absolutely loved to coach Van Ness with the bull rush) but in the Pros he's going to need more moves.
In the pros, even a prefected move becomes less valuable of the other guy knows it coming every single time.
Also Van Ness was a DT two years ago... probably can't be there full time in the pros, but he probably could sub in as a pass rush specialist on long 3rd downs at DT.
But in this drop 7 in zone coverage system we're running, we need NEED the front four to win!
Edge
~ Gary (recovering from injury)
~ P. Smith
~ Enagbare looked great for a 5th round pick, get beat blocks, not as athletic as one would prefer but he can get pressures
DTs
~ Clark had an average year, which is extremely down for him
~ Wyatt looked like he had a ton of potential
~ Slaton seemed to step up well
Need more DL with Reed and Lowry leaving
