Clark had 4 sacks last year.

I was happy with Lawson playing OLB as I think it's a quicker path to him playing.

We traded for that Chris Smith from Jacksonville too who is a DE.

MJ and Dunlap will start. Then behind them it's a competition with Clark, Gilberry, Smith, and Willis. 2 of those guys can play in a rotation.

It absolutely is a numbers game. Every season they bring in as many players as they can find and hope just a few will rise up like cream to the top. Some rise, most do not and though some may be absolute studs coming out of college they just don't have what it takes in the pros. Some look ever so average in college or carry baggage in, but once they put on the pro uniform they put it all together. 
Every team except one passed on Vontez Burfict coming out of college and look what he turned out to be. 
I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if the number one pick, Garret in Cleveland turns out to be a non-factor in most games..
