The problem is not the "type" of player we are drafting. It is the specific individual players we are drafting. Still and Thompson are the right "type" of DTs, but they still did not live up to their draft status.
Moch was never a DE, so technically we've only drafted 1 type since 2009, 80% of edge rushers when you include Moch as a rightful OLB.
Sure. They could've been more but they're probably just misses, unfortunate.
Again though, finding guys like Dunlap are becoming more rare nowadays. More teams are switching to 34s because the majority of best pass rushers fit as OLBs.
We have our two base ends and our 3T, we just need a complimentary edge rusher of smaller stature to spell on nickel downs.
The real primary need lies in the middle, because when Geno is taking a break, it seems the entire middle is doing the same.
