Mayock has said that you could find a 1st round talent in 3rd round because of how many great players there are in the draft this year. I can see teams deciding to focus on other positions and wait for a DT in the 2nd and later. I would hope that we would jump on a guy like Billings, Rankins, or Reed if they're available at our pick.

Has there ever been any official talk about us coming close to drafting a DT in the first under Marvin? It seems we hear pretty often so and so got picked right before our pick and that is who we had targeted. Like the DT in the 2nd last year. I dont ever remember hearing about how we were close to getting the DT we wanted in the first. Seems like they fall every year too.

Seemed like half the board said we absolutely had to take Malcolm Brown last year if by some miracle he fell to us in the first. Well he did. Then kept on falling. 

I dont think a DT we go get in the first is going to be that much better than one that is available in the 2nd.
