Not great by any means, but better than PS guys.
Edit: Forgot Lewis can move inside on passing downs as well.

I suppose my thinking is more along the lines of A.) DT being more impactful overall, and B.) ideally, with only two LB spots, depth is less of a concern (not a non-concern) and Franklin/Carlies won't rotate anywhere near as much as Buckner and Grover have to.
And again, I'm good with the track record at LB overall so that plays into it.
Also, you remind me that the lead scout for Tuimoloau basically ID'd him as a Dayo role. So he'll kick inside on certain packages, too.
