I"m not familiar enough w/Reader’s body of work, but from what I know, I think he’s the guy.

Ngata was definitely more impactful than Harrison, imo

Ngata until Reader proves others wise.

Both a later career Ngata and Harrison were excellent run defenders when they arrived here but offered little rushing the passer.

Assuming Reader gets back to his recent level of play, he’s definitely a clear step up from those two.

Snacks was a bum, Ngata had lost a step but was ok. Reader should be at the top of his game.

“At the time we got them”, so we can’t wait for the season to be completed to answer.

Gotta be Ngata

Snacks was good when he wanted to be. Dude wanted no part of being in Detroit though.

One main difference is Reader chose Detroit. Whereas Ngata and Snacks did not. They were traded.
