Let's talk DT's

It isn't wait and see and need. All the depth means is you should double dip. 

And you aren't getting first round talent, you are getting first round in a bad year talent. 

That's where the difference lies. 

Not aiming this at you BD, just that line of thinking. 
It has to go out the window when it's a top need on the team. 

It may not be a popular thought, but some people work like this. Hence why I'm hoping others use this logic on draft day and we get ourselves a damn good DT or two.

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.

Usually Hobson talks about who we've come close to drafting after it's all done. The only DT that comes to mind is Sharrif Floyd. I guess he was the backup plan in 2013 if Eifert was gone.
