Dayo got paid but the reality is to this point he has not proven to be a consistent pass rusher that generates pressure at a high rate. Jarrett might not even play out his 3 year contract, and its possible that Dayo doesn't play out his contract either. Billings is basically forced to play the entire game because of lack of depth (previously).Although I like M. Williams over Shemar Stewart, I still go back to the idea that the Bears have an offensive HC and have invested heavily into Dayo and Sweat. The #10 pick would be going to a player that will in all likelihood be getting a lot less reps than a typical #10 pick. The Bears also already have Austin Booker whom they gave up an extra draft pick to acquire. He showed a lot of promise last year and does fit the height and length prototype of a player Dennis Allen will use @ 6'4" and 33 and 7/8" arms.
He has had a full year to put on at least 20lbs to the 240 he was drafted at. I don't see them giving up on him as a developmental player. So taking a DE at #10 is always an option but I wouldn't bet on it being the first pick of Ben Johnson's coaching career.
Are sweat and Dayo supposed to play 90% of the snaps with only Booker coming in to give them rest? The big boys need to stay fresh.
On passing downs Dayo can kick inside as well if there is another player that would be worth putting on the edge to rush the passer.
