I'd be fine with signing him cheap to be a back up, but I doubt that happens. Right now we have a few guys who deserve a shot at more playing time at DT (DeShawn Williams, Marcus Hardison, Andrew Billings), but the fact is that none of them could amount to anything. Devon Still and Brandon Thompson were both more highly rated than any of those guys.
This would have been a great year for there to be a dominate DT worth the #9 pick, but I just don't see one.
I liked Billings way more than Still or Thompson. Wanted him in the 1st.
He is way stronger than either of those guys and is a better run stopper than both of those guys.
I think they were rated higher simply cause it was not near as deep of a draft at DT as last years draft was.
I like Nazair Jones the DT out of North Carolina this year in the mid rounds.
