hows this idea

i've been thinking about our dline
should/would we do this and does it make sense
go after Corey Williams, UFA, Green Bay Packers
move charles grant to DT and draft with our 1st round pick
Chris Long DE 6’4 284 Virginia
ong is a solid all around defensive end. He is physical, strong, and tough which makes him a force against the run. He can hold his ground at the point of attack, and he does not give up on plays. As a pass rusher, he makes plays because of his combination of strength and athleticism. He is quick off the snap, uses his hands well, and changes direction without hesitation. Long has the potential to play in a 3-4 or 4-3 defense.
the top DE in the draft
my thinking is that we should be able to get a great pass rush and be good at stopping the run from this lineup
and it'll make our secondary better no matter who is back there

Chris Long will not be there at 10. He will be gone by 7... if not sooner. Corey Williams would be a nice addition though... I wouldn't mind that at all. Lewis of the Panthers should also receive attention from us.

moving Grant does nothing... he is unable to pass rush. Trade his cap burden butt.

Grant isn't stout enough to play DT in this league. He's a good two way DE. He struggled with injury this year but he still has a good motor and is respectable when healthy.
