And yall by your need count have all of our 6 picks starting/contributing. I think you all are asking a lot of our 6 picks, but anything to avoid giving a failing grade to this FA period.
Depends on the guard. Booker, Jackson, or Zabel are fine with me.
Outside of Graham, I think most of the DT guys are late first/early 2nd types (Nolen, Harmon, Grant).
Ditto at DE. Most of the "true" DE's are late first 2nd types (Scourton, JTT, Jackson, Sawyer). Most of the higher end guys are OLB types (Carrer, Green, Pearce, etc) and/or trais guys with not much production that I'd avoid (M. Williams, Stewart).
Bottom line, there is not a true DE ir DT type I'd mourn missing out on if we go another direction at #17. If Warren, Walker, or Johnson drop to us, I would not pass on them to take Nolen.
If not, I am fine trying to trade down and/or going with a G (Booker, Jackson), LB (Campbell), S (Emmanwori, Starks) or TE (Loveland) instead of DL. Even CB.
Now, if we go away from DL twice on Day 1-2 ,we are likely gonna need a FA signing on the DL (Campbell, Smith, etc).
But generally, I think you can throw a blanket over 16-60 in this draft in terms of talent/upside. With DL, RB, and pass catching TE's going well into Day 3 with good options
