Drafting a defensive end we didn't need

Remember Hendrickson puking on the sideline because he had to play so many snaps? Duke also drafts BPA instead of for need. Murphy was supposed to be long gone by the time we picked. 

I think most people would have put an asterisk on the bold.
*Interior

Even still, I don't think many were thrilled about Irv Smith being the starting TE, so some would say TE was the biggest need.
CB also was considered a big need because of uncertainty around Awuzie.
There is a need for more pass rush, but I think most would say they want to see Hubbard and Hendrickson on the field 70% or more of the defensive snaps if healthy. And also probably BJ Hill. So just one more guy to go along with those 3. Could be either an interior pass rusher, or someone to fill in outside and swing Hubbard inside.
