He doesn't need to bend. Winning as a DE going thru a T works fine. It's not all bend. But you've gotta have some bend at some point. |

He's got moves and counters. You guys are acting like we drafted Mike Danna at#30. The bend thing is much more important for the speed rusher trying to get around the OT on the outside. There are plenty of effective pass rushers that use strength, leverage, heavy hands, and drive to get it done. You're not getting Derrick Thomas at #30. Just wait and see. Kid's going to be a good player.

He'll be a good solid high floor player, which is exactly what you want in the late first. But at some point they'll need to take some risk on a high upside guy that can play with power AND speed. Those guys go early in the draft and are expensive in free agency. |

They're nice to have but they can't be your entire defensive line. |

I would have loved to draft Jermaine Johnson but Karlaftis is 3 years younger and seems to not have any attitude issues. Not saying that it's confirmed that he does....but he fell down for a reason. |

We don't have to do anything. If we add a Dunlap or another vet pass-rusher our Dline is set.
Of course I would like a Thibodeaux. But neither the Bills or Bengals had one either last year.

Eventually, you'll have to find that guy. I'm not talking about this year. They can patch it up together this year. But if they keep winning like they are, to get that guy, theoretically, you have to pay a shit load. |

You're assuming a lot. Number one WR is a far bigger need than elite DE. We just spent 1st round pick on a good prospect and you're already writing him off for dumb reasons.

Listen to Spags in this, it should make you feel a lot better about the pick, if you were having any reservations.

We just spent a 2nd on a WR as well, so yeah, I don't think that's coming up soon again. If you want an elite DE that can bend and play with power, you're trading up for one or trading for one. |

Last year's Superbowl featured a team with Ja'marr Chase against a team with Cooper Kupp and OBJ. We need to add a top WR to maximize Mahomes. It might not happen this year but next year that's more important than finding another top pass-rusher. BTW, if you want a DE that can run around the edge , Jerry Hughes is still out there. We can offer him a few million a year and there you go.
