I really hope we re-sign Reader, but given his injury and his age, I have my doubts it will happen. I'd also really like to draft a defensive tackle early in the draft, but it isn't all that deep this year at IDL, unfortunately. There are a few stars at the top like Johnny Newton and T'Vondre Sweat, but past that there may not be anyone available at our pick. Sweat may fall if NT is devalued in the draft, and if that's the case I'd be hard pressed not to take him as a Reader replacement, but I'm not sure we get a player better than Hill in the 2nd round or later.
Newton seems to be legit. Sweat was exposed terribly by Washington.
The only other huge NT would be A&M's McKinnley Jackson, but I doubt he is ready out of the gate. LT3 of Miami and Michigan's Jenkins are bigger DT3s.
I hated seeing Pitt take the Wisconsin kid Burton. He has an 80.5 pass rush and overall 77.5 grade as a rookie this season.
