slightly off topic-
I've always disliked the term, because it's a 'blanket' term that is used for very different players as though they're interchangeable.
For example; Neil Smith and Derrick Thomas would both be "EDGE" players to some people. Though one was clearly a DE and one more of a OLB type.
In this draft, Rashan Gary and Josh Allen are 'EDGE' players. Though they're very, very different players. Yet we'll label receivers as 'slot' guys, or 'Free safety' or 'Strong safety' based on slight differences in skillsets.
Anyway, carry on.
