The edge rotation is also likely to undergo a major makeover this offseason. Mario Addison and Bruce Irvin are both on the wrong side of 30 years old and will become free agents in March. Drafting a young edge rusher like Epenesa (6-foot-6, 280 pounds) to pair with Brian Burns for the long run would be a smart idea. Epenesa has totaled 26.5 sacks and 36 tackles for a loss in just 37 college games. Like Burns, he also has a knack for forcing fumbles, with eight in the last two years.
