As I went back to look up his scouting report entering the 2009 NFL draft, I realized he actually was a 4-3 DE at Utah (I wasn't really into researching the draft back then).
He was said to have the versatility to be both a 4-3 DE or a 3-4 OLB in the NFL, in which the latter proved true.
At 6'4", 270 lbs, he has enough size to be a 4-3 DE.

I would love to see Kruger come here and replace Margus Hunt on the roster. He'd give a faster, more dangerous edge rush as a situational rusher.
The Bengals would still have Clarke and Hardison as early down base DEs.
Plus maybe Dansby can talk with him about signing here for cheap.

Also wouldn't mind seeing Pot Roast brought in and Sims cut, although I think that's less of a need than improving the edge rush.

I don't think we'll see a WR brought in since no big injuries to that position.

I was thinking the same thing about Kruger. Pot Roast would be a nice clog right up the middle which would allow both Dunlap and Atkins to see single coverage more often. I think both could really help take the defense over the top.
