But we have ALL 10 DL guys back this year. And I believe 8/10 through 2024. While upgrading Gunter, Tufele, or even Carter wouod be fine, I think we have more pressing needs (OT, TE, S, CB, WR depth, and maybe LB deoending on FA). Now, depending on how that shakes out, that list could be a lot shorter.
We play 4 a four man front most times, so the DE needs to be able to set the edge. The OLB types won't play every down. Gotta have HUGE impact to burn a first on a guy who is situational. Kancey MIGHT be worth it. I like Van Ness or Tuipulotu or Keion White better because of the versatility. Don't like Mazi as much, the gun conviction is a red flag. Still I'd want a better handle on OT and TE before making a luxury pick.
Our offense is what is costing us titles. Not the D.
I don't hate upgrading depth, but I think Tufele and Carter showed enough to get them some credit going into camp. Tufele was pretty terrific when Reader missed games, and Carter started to look the part at the end of the season. They're young, cheap guys that have some experience in the system, and that's somewhat valuable.
