Why would you think moving him to DE is a good idea?

Also, what makes you so unimpressed with Gaines?

It's not that I'm unimpressed w/G. Adams, but based on JLC's Skins insider, he has said that the coaches weren't that impressed with him. I would guess that a big part of that is his weight & strength (he didn't do the bench press at the combine, most figure it would've hurt his standing). He might be great in a couple years, but we can't afford to have 2 light DEs.

Golston is 290 & is a quick DT, but did get manhandled at times. If we draft a solid DT to start & don't draft a DE, the right DE position may come down to the incumbents; Wynn, Daniels & Evans (if they're here) plus whatever undrafted rookies or late pick ups come to camp. Golston is a good if unspectacular pass rusher.

My point is, it could easily still be a major hole to fill come august. I think Wynn can still play the run & Daniels is still solid all the way around when healthy, but hasn't been too healthy of late & they're both old. I see Evans as a camp cut unless we really can't get any rookies to step up.
