The fact that we are going to a 3-4 he just does not fit. If you put him over the center (by himself) he would get killed. As a DE he is fast enough, and he is a bigger and stronger version of Mack, But Mack plays in a 4-3. AD 's game is beating you with his first step, once he has you "off balance" then he over powers you. 3-4 ends catch tackles and keep lineman off the backers I do not think that is his game.
I would trade him for a kings ransom, I also think Quinn in his new position will look like LT. Remember Sammy Watkins is coming up for a new contract, I really like what we have done on the offensive side, If we could trade AD for the Cowboys left Anthony Smith, or the Raiders for Rodney Hudson and Gabe Jackson (both under contract for the next 3 years). Or to Cinncinatti for AJ Green pull the trigger. AD is the best 4-3 pass rushing tackle maybe ever lets see what we can get.
