Worth spending #12 overall for a player that is, at most, only going to get 50% of snaps a game, especially knowing that Billings is also likely to see some snaps at NT?

It kinda depends.  12 is a high price to pay for a NT in today's game, but if he's the best NT in the game, maybe that's different.  I don't know if he would be the best or not.  I have heard multiple people say things like best in the game. 

If a guy gives you a dominant force at any position, how much is that worth?  If no one can run on us, how much is that worth?

And teams throw plenty on first and second down.  If he can give you push up the middle on any down, it makes everyone else's jobs easier.   Give me any guy opponents have to game plan around and I'm a happy camper.
