the run and rush the passer very well, I thought about Derrick Harmon too but went with the big badass DT that can play Nose Tackle and
rush the passer. This pick allows both McKinnley Jackson and Kris Jenkins to develop. Hopefully we bring back BJ Hill as well.

We can still get a quality EDGE later in this deep draft. Jihad Campbell and Jalon Walker were also both tempting for Golden's new Defense.

Funnily enough, Jenkins and Jackson are the reasons I decided against Grant here. Jenkins is a run stopping DT, and Jackson has the size of a run stopping NT (even if he doesn't necessarily have the pedigree of a run stopping NT). Adding Grant to that group felt too much like a hat on a hat for me. We need a real pass rush from the DT position. My favorite at the moment is Nolan, but there are some pass rush specialists from the DT position that I wouldn't mind seeing us target later in the draft.
