The age of the 6'6 imposing rushers will always be around the game. Its the athletic guys what used to be. classified as linebackers frame is what I believe the league is moving towards. Its the Micha Parson types that are being studied for fits in my honest opinion. Its not about your defensive brand or philosophy but how you'll incorporate that type of talent in your defense.
So some guys that I believe fit this mold late first
Nolan Smith EDGE Georgia

Felix Anudike Uzomah Edge Kansas State

Will McDonald Edge Kansas State

Every one of these guys would be great to begin our movement in this direction. I'm likely missing a few but off top this is my starting point. This was actually attempted in Cincinnati under ML the defensive guy that he was when he drafted Dontay Moch. It just didn't work at the time.

I believe McDonald is with Iowa State. I like him and Uzomah. Smith is a 3-4 LB as is Herbig IMO, both mostly rushing from the edge and small for that job in the NFL, IMO.
Pace is probably the hardest hitter in the draft, but I dont think he can cover me in pass defense.
