What would you say if I told you a team traded up 18 spots in the first round to draft a defensive end, and then told the media that he’d have a “limited” role? You’re scratching your head, aren’t you?

Well, that’s what the Jacksonville Jaguars are saying about first round pick Derrick Harvey. He has a freaking solid shot at being the next great IDP DE, but his defensive line coach is saying he’ll be limited to pass-rushing situations only.

Well, if this is the case, fantasy owners shouldn’t fret too much, as the role certainly worked well for Robert Mathis in 2005 and Mark Anderson in 2006.
