So if you have a need at one of these 4 positions, I think it is best to grab them then than at any other time. And I would contend that we have needs at all of those positions other than CB.
Would I thow a fit if we drafted a DT? Nah. But I'd be more excited if it was a top notch DE than a DT. JMO. |
I am an admitted outside rush bigot, so I agree with DE as a priority. With the risk I see on this years DL between injuries, age and contracts, I would like to see any additional young DL to provide some stability.
