We have seen his ceiling and he is on the backside of his career. I hope Clarke, Hunt, and/or Montgomery show enough potential that we take a chance.
Why pick 8 sacks? Because Gilberry has had seasons with 7.0, 6.5 and 7.5 sacks?
Gilberry looks better in a rotation. The DE's were thin last year so I don't think that helped him.
Fwiw, not all DE's fall off at 30 ala Geathers.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
