Let's talk DT's

They really need to end the Hunt failed experiment as well. I still have some hope for Clarke, but he has to show some real progress this year.

There's like one legit speed rusher (Noah Spence) and he'll probably be off the board. Hardison is a decent piece to the puzzle but the fact he couldn't see any action this year despite very mediocre years from every DT not named Geno...a little depressing. Hopefully he's given a full chance.

Hunt should be long gone. Clarke is at best a poor man's MJ. Whatever that's worth...he shouldn't feel THAT comfortable on the roster.

As of right now we have Atkins, Peko, Williams, and Hardison. Peko is in the last year of his deal and needs fewer snaps to play with any of effectiveness. We know very little with Hardison and Williams. Thompson is recovering from a torn ACL and is visiting Seattle. I'm sure we'll bring Sims back at some point when we'll offer up another 1 year minimum deal.

This is the perfect year to draft a DT or two.

Agreed entirely. 
Strong draft means double dip, not wait until the mid-late rounds.
