3. 4-3 MLB
4. 3-4 Rush OLB
5. 4-3 SAM
6. 3-4 SAM

He's too good at bending the edge to not be used on the outside. James Harrison is 6'0" 242 and he's had a great career as a 34 OLB. Robert Mathis at 6'2" 245 had the best season of his career as a 34 OLB. Haason Reddick at 6'1" 247 would be fine as a 34 OLB in terms of size, and he's the type of player who will succeed there.

James Harrison is not 242 lbs

Hey NJ...I'm not looking at this year as a throw away year. With all the bullshit in the front office, the usual injuries, low caliber coaching, and our defense, Colts make playoffs if not for 2 brutal 9th inning collapses. So. no I'm all in for immediate success with Ballard (if Andy's shoulder is indeed ok). We need CB's in a "passing league". I believe Ballard has increased our pass rush ability already over the last 2 seasons with the FA acquisitions. A good one in the draft and we're good.

Reports say Ballard likes EDGE Charles Harris (Missouri). Not my favourite pick @ 15, but that's a nice trade back option (along w/ Lawson).

OK, you are all in for immediate success, who's going to rush the passer ?? I would rather get my pass rushers in the first couple of rounds and make opposing QB's get rid of the ball before they want to. I guess it's just a matter of preference, either way this defense needs play making starters.

If you're concerned about him setting the edge, then ILB on run downs and moving outside in passing situations.

Still, I think he'll primarily play EDGE in the NFL. If Clay Matthews and Robert Mathis can play on the outside, then so can Reddick.
