Sample is more of a hybrid IDL/gap holder than terror off the edge. Murphy and Ossai are questionable as backups. Murphy was solo blocked by a TE at times.  Should Hendrickson have to miss any time the pass rush looks really shaky. 

JFC, people need to learn to give patience to rookies.
What is to say drafting yet another DE will result in any kind of decent playing time for that rookie this year?
The pecking order will be Hendrickson and Hubbard getting majority of snaps with Murphy likely first off the bench.
Hendrickson and Hubbard are signed through 2025, so any rookie is likely not getting significant playing time until 2026.
You wanna toss yet another 1st round pick to DE when they may not make significant contributions until Year 3?

But if you add another edge, then 1) you'll have to cut Sample or Ossai, and 2) that's another premium draft pick toward a position they just added to last year and taking away from a position that is more of a need.
