DT Our Biggest Need?

I've heard the very top of the DT pool is strong, but it falls off fast and has little depth. Maybe that's why they are so intent on addressing it in free agency.

Hopefully, we get an impact DT in round one. If not, find a role player to rotate with our starters in the middle rounds and concentrate on guard, and WR/TE in the early rounds.

Same philosophy as years past... allows them to do BPA... not that it mattered when moving up for players like Marcus Davenport and Mark Ingram.

Man... we sure could have used those extra number ones!

I doubt a couple of lower 1st rounders seven years apart would have made of a difference in the scheme of things.

Shows what we know, huh? When Tuttle, Onyemata and even Davenport left I thought the front office had lost their collective minds. Like K Major said:

This D-line is one of the best in the league.
