You're talking about a more broad position that has 5 starter spots and 10 overall spots at DB.

To me, CBs and safeties are not interchangeable, neither are DEs and DTs.
There needs to be a good blend of veterans and draft picks at about every position, in my view.

You COULD put a DT at DE, but just like trying to put a safety at CB, it probably won't work in many situations.

At the end of the day, you personally want to invest a 1st and 2nd rounder at DT when they already added a 2nd rounder and 3rd rounder to DT last year.
That's your prerogative.
I'm simply stating that's not something I agree with or prefer.
Given the state of some of the other positions like DE, SAF, OL, or pass catcher, I'd rather see one of those DT picks go toward a different position unless the other players at the other positions were so bad that I'd feel I'd have to go DT again.

If you're talking the entire DB room, then we're talking a 1st(Dax), 3 2nd's (CTB, Turner, and Watts), a 3rd(Battle), and 4 Day 3 picks(Anderson, Ivey, Newton, and Anthony), plus FA starters in Stone plus another S in FA with what you're proposing.

I can understand the overkill argument to a point, but not when your alternate proposal is just to commit even worse overkill at another position group.  

Would you ideally like back to back DT's?  Probably not.  But if I'm running a sim to post, I don't just sit there and run sims until the board falls how I would like it to, because that's highly unrealistic. Our biggest need is pass rush, and the BPA in the 2nd was a good interior pass rusher.. Personally, I don't agree with your philosophy of "take a guy with a late 2nd/early 3rd grade over a guy with a late 1st/early 2nd grade because spread the wealth".  That's how you load your roster with inferior talents and your team goes nowhere.  

I think we are probably at a state here where it's best to agree to disagree and move on.
