Moch and Clarke are two more names that were basically square pegs that we tried to fit into round holes. Moch was constantly mentioned as an OLB in a 3-4. Clarke was mocked to be a 3-4 DE prior to his draft.

Those are 2 interesting names.

1.  For years the Bengals have been stubborn about having their DEs at 6'6" and 280+.  Clarke is a perfect specimen.
2.  Moch should have been what Lawson is, but the Bengals have been so stubborn about drafting a player this size.

You have to wonder who makes the "rules" when it comes to drafting on physical traits.  At least they seem to be getting away from that somewhat (at least at the DE spot)
