This year I have an even bigger crush on Andrew Billings. Dude would be a terrific pick if he falls to 24. That said I won't be nearly as upset if he doesn't because of the insane depth at DT in this draft.

Also (at risk of being labeled an OSU homer) I will say that Adolphus Washington would be a good pickup in th first two rounds and you didn't mention him.

Also I think it was bfine who mocked the Texas DT Ridgeway to us in the 4th, i didn't know much about him but after looking at some tape he could be a steal outside of the first couple rounds.

If we re-sign most of our major FA's I really hope we grab two good DT's in this draft. There are probably 15 DT's that could be really good pickups and last year only 18 were drafted. I'm sure that number will go up this year but some really talented guys should be available in rounds 3,4, or 5. If we don't draft a DT this year I will  

Yeah I'm only speaking on what ive seen in the combine as I haven't watched tape on all of these guys.  I think taking two DT's in this draft would be a little over kill with the developmental guys we have on the team right now and the limited roster.  We have other needs on the team that need to be addressed .  Heck I would take a stud kicker over another developmental DT.  I wouldn't mind two line backers, a wide receiver, a center, a DT, and maybe a developmental RDE.
