He's the type of 'glue' player we haven't had in a while. A guy who is just mean and nasty but smart as well. He's going to allow the defense to be creative. Imagine a nickel pass rush with Rak, Hatcher, Kerrigan, Murphy. That's the goal, rush with 4 - cover with 7.

Seems pretty clear the offseason strategy to fix the pass defense was to focus our resources on getting to the QB. Franchise Rak, sign Hatcher, draft the 2013 NCAA sack leader. That's one reason why draft grades are so dumb. They don't account for offseason strategy and planned fits.
