I think the D-line was slightly overrated by some fans. I think we’re in a transition of getting younger and more talented up front. Dunlap and Atkins aren’t the same players they used to be ,there getting older and played a ton of snaps last season. We don’t really have a true 3 technique backup to give Atkins some reps off. Billings was a decent NT but the fact that some draft experts said he was supposed to get drafted in the 1st round made some think he was better than how he played. We didn’t have much depth at DE because Wynn got hurt and Lawson is limited because he’s basically a pass rush specialist and we can’t stop the run. At DT Glasgow got hurt , Tupo is ok and Wren is a project. Adding a young, talented 25 year old like Reader on the D-line will make a big impact paired with a young Sam Hubbard who is on the rise. Feel like we need to still draft a talented d-lineman upfront In the upcoming draft if the value is there.
