And Clayborn will be 30yo in July, wrong side of the hill to be bringing in pass rushers...

I just think having 6' 3" of 343 lbs of goodness pulling some heat off of Cam would due the pass rush more good...

Then get Taven Bryan as the 3T or DE (he can play both) on the other side and start ruining opposing passers game days...
Clayborn graded 85.5 last year. He could provide valuable rotational depth especially if we resign Okafor - who may still need a few weeks to be ready.

And there’s no guarantee we get a chance to draft any particular player.

I hear ya, '76, but look at our line. Tyler Davison is a good player, but he's not drawing double teams enough to allow Cam Jordan to get to the passer...

The longest Okafor stayed healthy was last season; so that, plus an achilles tendon rupture that takes a min of a year to recover, if ever?!?

Okafor is not a viable option, besides, Hendrickson will be able to step up opposite Cam...

What we need is that in your face pass rush and our NT and DT3 were not getting it done enough last year...

I’m not saying we don’t find a defense of tackle. In fact I’ve been a proponent of signing Suh. But Adrian could provide just as much value as oak did
