Need? Panic would be drafting a DT from East Jabumbfook St. in the first four picks. Need would be drafting a DT anywhere. Last year, we made 3 picks in the first 89 selections. All 3 started. In 2022 we didn't make a pick until #104. We've got 4 before 100 this year. In 2021, we didn't make a pick until #57 or our 2nd pick until #103. We've got 2 before #57 and 4 before #103. I'm feeling good they will get contributors and starters with those. If they take a DT with any of the first four selections, it fills a need. What's ironic is fans have been saying Edge, Edge, Edge!!!! but there's no worry they might reach or panic looking for an Edge? Suddenly AD retires and we should worry about reach or panic? I think these guys are as good as any front office and it's simply a matter of actually having those top 100 selections. We know they can find talent from the 4th on. So I can't wait to see what they do. As far as pressure to fill AD's shoes, any level headed kid knows it's a fool's errand to try. And any coach worth their salt is going to ensure the kid knows that. No pressure at all. Just fill a quality NFL DT's shoes. That's pressure enough.

Need? Panic would be drafting a DT from East Jabumbfook St. in the first four picks. Need would be drafting a DT anywhere. Last year, we made 3 picks in the first 89 selections. All 3 started. In 2022 we didn't make a pick until #104. We've got 4 before 100 this year. In 2021, we didn't make a pick until #57 or our 2nd pick until #103. We've got 2 before #57 and 4 before #103. I'm feeling good they will get contributors and starters with those. If they take a DT with any of the first four selections, it fills a need. What's ironic is fans have been saying Edge, Edge, Edge!!!! but there's no worry they might reach or panic looking for an Edge? Suddenly AD retires and we should worry about reach or panic? I think these guys are as good as any front office and it's simply a matter of actually having those top 100 selections. We know they can find talent from the 4th on. So I can't wait to see what they do. As far as pressure to fill AD's shoes, any level headed kid knows it's a fool's errand to try. And any coach worth their salt is going to ensure the kid knows that. No pressure at all. Just fill a quality NFL DT's shoes. That's pressure enough.
