(S8) - PT 3 - What if

[GoonerBear]

If I had to make a change, I'd probably change Kolby Deringer over to a defensive end. Though he has a background starting off as a corner, I think it would have been interesting to see this transition throughout his story further up the defensive side of the field until he's in the trenches, ready to pop off the head of whoever has the ball. Might have been interesting to think about whether I wanted him to be more like Von Miller or JJ Watt. Even now, if I chose to, I might move him into more of a rushing role a la DeMarcus Ware. If I feel it's a better move later on, I might change his archetype to Speed Rusher.

If I had to put him on offense, I've enjoyed the WR role in another league. I think I'd try for WR or TE, leaning toward TE to still be able to play that gritty role without committing to a pure muscle position. I'd see about styling him after the Jason Witten mold in the position, the sixth blocker and safety blanket under the Possession archetype. Without knowing interactions, I'd focus hands, then run blocking, strength, endurance, then speed.
