I will say this, though. Given that Hill/Slaton are likely penciled in as starters, and a DT would likely be a rotational piece, I doubt we spend #17 on a DT if a surefire stud/starter is available at another spot. Not impossible, though.
We did. We actually carried 6 DTs at the beginning of last year. Hill, Rankins, Jenkins, Jackson, Tufele, and Carter. We had a lot of question marks behind our ideal starting two.
I think it's a different story this year. I think we know what we have with Hill, Jenkins, and Jackson. And the front office, who has been better at identifying DTs than they have a lot of other positions, (in a FA period we knew would be more focused on paying our own) went and grabbed an outside free agent who happened to be young giant DT.
Definitely need to add to the pipeline. I don't dislike Grant. But I like Harmon better. And I like his teammate Jamaree Caldwell a lot too 3-4-5 rounds later. I wonder if Shemar Turner is a bigger version of Geno Atkins? Where is Deone Walker going? Sure would like him on my side.
Had Grant fall to me in the second in a recent mock. Took him.
