I'm pretty stoked about the DL this season, especially with the addition of White and and the coming out season by Wise. The key to any really good DL is numbers, and the Pats are starting to have a DL roster that can come after you in waves. I actually wanted a DT like Kancey or Mazie Smith if they fell to the 2nd to pair with Barmore. Inside pressure is the best deterrent to an NFL passing attack there is.
But instead we took a 285lb DE. But who knows. This is a kid who has played the DL only a few years and has a LOT of upside as I see it. Explosive and powerful are the terms most used in describing him. (btw anyone have a 40 time on him) He IS Detrich Wise only bigger and more athletic. I can easily see bim being used inside on passing downs as well as on the edge.
As for the rest of DL, I really like it. Godcheax has been under rated a bit by Pats fans. I thought he did a very nice job last season. Eukele was a big surprise for me. He showed a consistent ability to get into the backfield. Guy is the guy who seems like he is getting phased out that this point of his career. He was a GREAT FA pick up by Bill who has produced at a high level and for a couple of years the Pats best DLman. But at this point he's being bypassed and that's a good thing. But currently I look at him as quality, experienced depth who is playing his last season as a Patriot
Judon Uche, Wise and Jennings are a good group coming off the edge. With both Judon and Uche with double digit sack (wise 7.5) Not to mention White as a power DE like Wise. Inside you have God, Davis, Barmore, Euk, as a start of decent DT/N group. Now with White and Wise, the Pats actually have two 3-4 DE's, which is good when you want to disguise how you are coming at the QB and what your coverage is.
at least this is how I see very early on
