We will need a rotational guy..
I think we may sign another FA DE possibly.. We will NEED to draft a DE in first 2 rounds next year, MJ90 is going to turn 30 next year...

Dansby, Virgil, Dawson with a healthy Burfict will give us more sacks at LB position which has been more of heel for us than sacks from the Dline over the past couple years. We went from 30th to 23 in sacks last year and believe we will improve more this year. Any of those guys able to rush from a 3 point stance and set an edge?

We will make DE a priority next season. Guarantee we will draft one in the first round, (At 32 )
It's easy to see the world in black and white. Grey? I don't know what to do with grey.

Notable UDFA DEs out there still are Drew Ott and Shawn Oakman, but I expect Oakman to sit until his legal issues are resolved. I also expect/hope to see someone picked up next year early in the draft.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season Zac Taylor 2024: 3-5 so far. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive. Sorry for Party Rocking!

I think the Ravens got some good pass rushers, I like that we got Billings to go with Adkins but would have loved Hargraves with our 3rd or 4th pick. A 300lb+ DT that was one of the nations sack leaders would have been nice. Now we get to face him with Pitt. Dunlap and MJ are still pretty good no realy worry there yet

You'll get a few pressures and sacks up the A gap from the backers but that doesn't change the shit depth we have at EDGE.

Well I don;t see as a big of issue how you make it out to be.. WE did lose Gilberry but we have a couple moveable parts that can go into DE and I like to see a healthy Clarke this year.. Hunt is a concern but one player does not make lack of depth for the team. Also i predict we do pick up some in preseason to add to DE competition

Also i predict we do pick up some in preseason to add to DE competition The position group consists of 4 players, 2 1/2 if we're being realistic to e perfectly honest. It absolutely makes lack of depth for the team. We have nothing proven or remotely reliable to rotate Dunlap and Johnson with. When those two and Geno come off the field, the overall quality of play Dline play goes down to a level an NFL squad should not be subjected to.

We heads Carlos Dunlap break the sack record And Michael Johnson had a good year despite playing injured fall year We don't need a stud DE, we need an End behind those guys that is good in the rotation and offers something. So far, Clarke, Hunt have shown nothing and Hardison has only shown flashes in the preseason similar to Hunt. Hope this changes but i would like to hedge the bet and bring in another guy to compete. Maybe Ryan Brown is the guy or Easley, we will see.

No I wanted one too, but there wasn't many of them.
I, personally, wanted Victor Ochi in the later rounds. But there wasn't that many DEs this year that would have fit us. I mean, I liked the 2015 Draft more when it came to DEs. But 2017 could be pretty good and have a lot more talent. Myles Garrett. Derek Barnett. Charles Harris. Lewis Neal. Marquise Haynes. And Carl Lawson. There's 6 guys right there that could go in the 1st round.
