FWIW, I'm fine with our pick.  I feel like it was a bit of a 'safe' pick, but I can rationalize why they went that direction.  Quality pass rushers are expensive on the open market, and as much as I like our starting front four, having fresh legs to rotate in keeps the pressure on those opposing QBs.

Yup

I like our D-line as well but to be totally honest we struggled getting pressure on opposing QB's in many games last season. Hopefully Myles can help out there.
