Michael Brockers was drafted to be a 4-3 DT. The Rams now play a 3-4, and he's not really the right fit anywhere across the line, imo.
The position he plays now doesn't need to have $10mil + thrown at it. That money is in need at other positions of priority. And maybe not even on Defense.

He's a perfect fit at 3/4 DE...which is a traditionally non-glamorous position.

But they can't keep everyone.

The consensus opinion is that Brockers is the best run-stuffing defensive tackle in the 2012 NFL Draft class....He can stay in a 4-3 while also having ideal length to set the edge and be a five-technique defensive end in a 3-4 defense.
