I actually think Daniels belongs in the top 4, making Binns 5th. I'd kick Ballard out to DE and insert Daniels at DT, having Binns come in as a pass rushing specialist but also just providing solid depth. (I actually always thought Klug would be a great DE w/ his speed, quickness and tenacity, and I think he'll get NFL looks as a 4-3 or 3-4 DE.) And I certainly don't have anything against Binns, but w/ Ballard and Clayborn at DE other teams would either go definitively inside or have to run deep into the backfield to get around them. Those 2 would "set an edge" like nobody's business b/c they eat up so much space and are so athletic. And make no mistake - this is a fantastic dilemma and I have no issues w/ those who say Binns is in their top 4. All 5 of these DL bring something to the table and deserve to start.
