Clark is Peko like, which is ok.  He does have an element to his game that Peko never had, and that is the ability to pass rush.  He isn't the pass rush force that Rankins is, but he has immense potential.  Hence, the part of the assessment you posted that states Clark has the potential to be more than a 2 down player.

What quality edge rushers come in the later rounds? 

Here's the NFL sack leaders for 2015. I highlighted the non-first rounders and included rounds for you.


So if you use the most lenient use of "later rounds" and include the 4th round, that gives you 3 of 23 guys as "late round picks."

Does that seem like you can get "quality edge rushers" in the later rounds to you?

Geno is at his best, whenever he is on the field. 
He's never played with a DT of that caliber before so how would we know?
He wrecks when Sims, Peko or Gilberry are in at DT. It doesn't matter. He's an elite player.
