So he actually saying we gonna draft defense with that 1st round pick or is he planning on using Unger at defense tackle? That is the only way trading JG going to help defense,,,,, like Loomis as a bean counter but dayuuuuum I can't remember the last time we had a decent draft or offseason free agent that made a difference since the unspoken Free Safety help us get to Super Bowl

I think you gotta look at a bigger picture. We have the draft pick but also $2M+$25M cap room. Too narrow of a view if you try and plug the 31 pick we rec'd as a single solution to our Defense.
