02Scheme fit
Ideal system

James Lynch projects best in a one-gap 4-3 penetrating front, where he can use his burst and power to disrupt the offensive line.

3-tech DT1-tech DT5-tech DE
Best role

He can be an immediate rotational interior pass rusher in a 4-3 defense, with the ceiling to develop into a reliable starting 3-technique.

Wrong fit

He would be a poor fit in a two-gap 3-4 scheme, where his lack of raw size and anchor strength would be exposed regularly.

Lynch's high motor and ability to play multiple techniques make him a versatile interior defensive lineman for a penetration-based system.
