Let's talk DT's

Our D was about 2 points away from being the top scoring D in all the NFL. If we lose Sanu and/or MLJ we NEED a WR; there's a limited number of those this year. We NEED a CB We NEED a RDE that can get to the QB. We NEED a Center.

I have zero issue with taking a DT in the first and love a few listed; however, if one of the premiere pass rushers, WRs, Cbs, is available. I have no issue with snagging one of them and taking a tier lower prospect and lining him up beside Geno.

Both those DT's should be off the roster. Gilberry is a FA. Peko is in his 30s. 
Geno is the only viable DT on this roster. We saw what happened this year alone when Geno wasn't on the field. It wasn't good. 


If we lose Sanu, WR still isn't a big need. He'd be the 4th or 5th option on offense regardless. 
If we lose Jones it is a bigger need. 
We don't NEED a CB. We have 3 on roster who look ready to play. Depth is needed but not an immediate player. 

Your excuses for why those are needs but DT isn't somehow is flimsy at best.
