I'd have been surprised if he made the 53. He likely won't be picked up, so we can easily sign him after week 1. We're deep along the D-line so this really isn't a surprise

It's about as deep as the kiddy pool...

We have 3 DTS now: Rankins, Onyamata and Davison. Unless I'm forgetting someone we don't have much depth at all...

True. Nothing behind Davison whatsoever.

Yeah but several of the DE's are experienced with and have the ability to move inside. Also, 2 of those DT's are capable of kicking out to the edge. It appears to me that the defense has been deliberately built to be versatile at all 3 levels. I think traditional roles aren't going to matter much, it will truly be putting your best players on the field together.
