A run stuffing DT is definitely a hole; however, it's not a difficult hole to fill. There are Pennel types available on the cheap all of the time. I'm not saying they won't get one, I'm just not sure that's a great thing to do early in the draft. Those guys usually take a couple of seasons to get NFL strength anyway. And as for pass rush from the DT spot, you've got Jones of course, Omenihu, and Wharton is apparently doing well in his rehab. So yeah, you need a run stuffer, but that's not an expensive spot to fill.
I really like this next tier of WR's, personally. Give me a Rice, Hyatt, Tillman, Mingo, or if they wait until the 3rd, Perry, Mims, Scott, or Palmer and let's roll.
And I don't think just because they were talking to Dallas that it means they wanted Mazi Smith; it just means that Dallas wasn't comfortable waiting until 31 to get their guy.
