Rather we draft a bona fide DE than a DT this year. And glad to have Brandon Thompson back. I think his best years are ahead of him.

Margus Hunt Preseason (10 games): 26 tackles, 6.0 sacks, 1 Pdef, 1 FF Margus Hunt Season (29 games): 12 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 1 Pdef Dontay Moch Preseason (11 games): 21 tackles, 6.5 sacks, 1 Pdef, 2 FF Dontay Moch Season (8 games): 7 tackles, 1.0 sacks, 1 Pdef Ryan Whalen Preseason (15 games): 24 catches, 251 yards (10.46 avg) Ryan Whalen Season (17 games): 11 catches, 80 yards (7.27 avg) So on, so forth. The Bengals really need to get over this quantity over quality approach they've taken at DT the last couple years and just fix it. No reason to put a bunch of scrubs next to Geno when you could put a good guy next to him and wreck every QB's day for the next 4 years. ____________________________________________________________

Interested to see what Fairley signed with the Saints for. Would have sacrificed Simms and Thompson for Fairley.

And not a Hunt, Clarke, MJ clone that "can stuff the run and play all three downs", but a true rush end from the right side that could create some real problems for opposing QBs with teams focused on Dunlap and Geno. I'm not sure they will pull the trigger at #24 or if they would be satisfied with his interviews but Noah Spence would fit very nicely. Trade back, grab him and get an additional 3rd rounder?

I definately want a DT in this Draft. There are so many of them that could put this Defense over the top. Geno with a decent DT would help this team immensely, almost as much as a good Center would.

Former Rams defensive tackle Nick Fairley has signed a one-year contract with the New Orleans Saints. The deal is for $3 million and includes incentives that could raise its value to $5 million, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/15082451/new-orleans-saints-sign-defensive-tackle-nick-fairley-1-year-deal

Thompson: 9 games, 8 tackles (4 solo), 0.5 sacks Sims: 8 games, 16 tackles (4 solo) Fairley: 15 games, 29 tackles (18 solo), 0.5 sacks, 1 Pdef A rotation only works if the players in the rotation are worth putting on the field. Not saying Fairley is the answer, but stacking up a ton of Thompson, Sims, Hunt, Clarke types sure isn't the answer either. ____________________________________________________________

Which goes back to the fact that Sims and Thompson are always hurt, and that Fairley playing more snaps is a positive, not a negative. Why use two roster spots to still fail to produce the same as another team's one roster spot? ____________________________________________________________

I mean Fairley has NEVER in his entire career played 16 games in a season, but I am sure that he can fill the role of two players.

Hah, shame on me for having actually expected Fred to not just make some ridiculous statement from jumping to false conclusions rather than actually trying to use any sort of logic... or even simple freaking math for that matter. Who said rolls with only 3 DTs? You take away Gilberry from FA (he was a DT for pass rushing), and you take away Sims/Thompson and replace them with Fairley, and you're at 4 DTs, not 3. Atkins, Fairley, Peko, Hardison. You didn't even need to take off your shoes and socks to manage that counting, Fred, but apparently I was still expecting too much from you. Then you draft a guy and have Peko, Hardison, and the Rookie fight for the roster spot. ____________________________________________________________
