Many don’t know that while Rashan projected as an Edge defender in the NFL, he was a very good Run Defender for Michigan. Regardless of where Rashan ends up, we know he won’t take over either Smith’s jobs unless there’s an injury.   So to me it makes sense to have him playing at DT some rather than spending his career on the bench. We can complain about him being too small (280lb/26 reps is not too small). I’m not sure we thought through this draft selection thoroughly.  We’re covering up a premier draft selection with 2 massive FA should signings, which was ok for a year, but absolutely wrong for anything past his Rookie season.</blockquote>
