Hitting on Geno Atkins was awesome, but it kind ruined their approach to drafting DTs by just relying on mid rounders. That's why a mediocre DT from outside of the organization like BJ Hill winds up getting as many healthy snaps that he can get. In reality, on a good defense, he's a backup/rotational piece at best. Here, he's got job security. and as long as they keep drafting mid-late round DTs, he has no real competition.
Yes and that is a problem for sure. I wanted Byron Murphy in this last draft for these very reasons. If you are going to be a bit undersized
you better be damn strong like Geno Atkins was and Byron Murphy is damn strong like this. Drafting an End and trying to move him to 3-tech
in the AFC North was just dumb on top of bringing in Rankins to replace DJ Reader, different players.
