Edge Rushers and Depth Charts in Madden

In editing rosters, I've encountered an issue, and I'm wondering how folks navigate this.

In the NFL, defenses spend most of the game in nickel or dime. In Madden's depth charts, the left end and right end are usually the starting DEs. However, what do you do when you have 3-4 base teams, who use their OLBs as the edge rushers?

For example, Jadeveon Clowney is listed in Madden as an OLB, but in reality, he is a pure edge rusher; he isn't used to cover passes (<3 pass targets in the last 3 seasons).

In Madden, since he is a starting OLB, he remains at OLB, and the AI doesn't put him in at either the RLE or RRE depth chart spots.

Is it more accurate to change his position to DE in Madden, since there is no edge rusher designation?
