We aren't loaded at DT. We've got Geno (good), Peko (average and getting up in years) and then.... not much. We're an injury away from Pat Sims being our best option to pressure the passer, and realistically a couple years away from Peko retiring.

The draft isn't guaranteed. Who knows how many picks before we find somebody worth starting. I'd sign Fairley and draft a replacement. If we get lucky, we're set on the line for a few years regardless of an injury or two. If we don't, we draft another lineman and keep plugging away.
