Why do you feel Swinson can only be a rotational line player? NFL Draft Buzz had him going as high as potentially the 2nd round. 2nd rounders don't get drafted for rotations. They get drafted to start. His strength is pass rushing who has the frame to be a great run stopper also.
Please read the article below on him:

The versatility he's shown - working stunts, dropping in coverage, even spying athletic quarterbacks - gives defensive coordinators a chess piece they can move around the formation. Put him in the right scheme, and you're looking at an impact player who should hear his name called in the late second round.
Smart money's on Swinson outplaying his draft position.
Lane is fast. This isn't college though. His stats in the mediocre ACC were pretty average around 500 yds rec/season. Our new udfa wr Ja'Corey Brooks had 1,000 alone in 1 season last year.
Please don't come crying to me when our defense isn't good enough to win the SB next year. Jayden and the offense will be great, but barring more changes defense won't be good enough.
