Beyond Atkins, Reader, and Daniels we did not have an established NFL DT, only undrafted FAs (Dishon), FAs (McKenzie), or DEs who can maybe play inside some (Hubbard, Brown, Kareem, Bledsoe).

I thought Calitro would make the team as the 6th LB, or be a protected PS guy at worst. It was between him & Evans, with Evans' injury I thought Calitro was ahead. Good special teams guy. But Evans does have better physical tools.

I think Covington makes the team as the 8th DL/4th DT type. I'd be surprised if we kept more than 9 DL, and 8 wouldn't shock me given the 16 man PS and more seemingly NFL quality players at other spots (WR, CB, S).

They need a backup at edge still so they might keep 10.  Their loaded at interior pass rusher though.
Right now it looks like 
9 DL
6 LB 
11 DB with Wayne's going on IR
