Not a bad idea to have a thread dedicated to strictly Dline draft options, as opposed to rifling through 20 different threads.
A lot of people like Kenneth Grant and Nolan in the first round at DT.
There are a lot of options for edge rusher in the 1st as well.
I think edge rusher is very likely, as is DT.
Free Safety is another sleeper pick though. If they see someone in the 1st that can have a Bates-like impact, take over the positions, and really solidify the secondary that could certainly be the pick.
In this scenario I'd be targeting Guard in round 2 and Dline in round 3.
Bradyn Swinson comes to mind as an edge rusher out of LSU for the 3rd round.
Edge rushers tend to go earlier though so this is probably a pipe dream.
Just did a mock (simulation) right now:
(1) S Emmanwori
(2) G Ratledge
(3) Edge Swinson
(4) G Charles Grant
(5) RB Etienne
(6) I'm looking at another safety in Jaylen Reed, LB Jack Kiser, or a DT like Elijah Roberts or JJ Pegues
