Nope, not worried.
I would have been more worried if we spent another round 3-5 pick on another 6-6+ , 280lb who is simply a more average version of what we had already at DE.
I don't have a problem with more specialist type skills. I think we have a great chance of either Willis or Lawson offering a bit more threat from the edge on 3rd down. I'm also interested to see whether Billings and/or Glasgow are real stout .vs. the run of first down.
In fact that is probably my only apprehension on the DLine this year. As much as Peko was not liked by some (and yes most of his tackles seemed to be 3-5 yards down field) he was a super durable vet, knew the system inside out and was clearly valued by the coaches. We are still likely to be replacing his snaps with basically two rookies (Billings, Glasgow)
