Charles Grant is a very decent player, but he is very streaky.
Streaky? No I don't think so. This guy led the NFL DTs in tackles a few years ago and if it wasn't for constant double teams because of our lack of a serious threat on the inside, I'm sure he'd be able to do more. Grant is a beast and has proven that he's one of the better ends in the NFC. Grant would be a starter on every team in the NFC besides maybe the Panthers.
Why not take Mario and deal Grant in the future?
Because we've all seen how awful our FO is at actually getting something worthy out of players (i.e. Darren Howard situation). Besides, we need to win now, and drafting a guy who plays one of our strongest position doesn't make sense. Why draft a guy who isn't going to play every down (if he splits time with Grant), when we can get a guy who will play every down, especially at a more urgent area of need? Besides, even if he did become our full-time starter, then we'd have a Pro-Bowl talented guy just sitting on the bench. It just doesn't make sense. We NEED a DT, we NEED a LB, we NEED a CB, we NEED another OT; we DON'T NEED another DE. What we could use, however, is a backup defensive end, somebody who can provide us with good depth for not a lot of money.
