I think DT is the deepest position in the draft so if you pass early you can get a guy later it depends what you’re looking for. Far as mid round NT’s Jamaree Caldwell for Oregon is intriguing. He’s 6’2 332lbs and a stout run defender who moves well. He did nothing as a rusher at Oregon but I think that was more scheme based. The previous season at Houston he had 6.5 sacks and showed some rush ability. Far as pure rushing 3 -techs that could fall ,Omarr Norman-Lott is interesting. Norman-Lott had the highest pass rush win rate for DT’s at 19.4 %, he’s shorter at 6’2 but has long arms and huge hands and wins with leverage. A red flag for him is he only played 25 snaps a game but I heard Tennessee liked to rotate lines they did it with Pearce as well. There’s also a mysterious report about a medical issue with his knee not sure how far that will make him fall but I kind of get Trey Smith vibes with his draft stock. Think he was projected like 3rd or 4th rd. Not sure how far the medical will push him down. At a certain point in the draft if he keeps falling I think you take the risk.
Norman-Lott I think would be the perfect addition for our Defense if the knee is okay. We have 3 DT's that can all be solid run stoppers/pass
rushers but not a pure pass rushing DT. I think Kris Jenkins could grow into this, but we don't know that for sure. Give me a pure pass rushing
3-tech that we can rotate in on passing downs. I think between Slaton and McKinnley NT should be taken care of.

Would love Skattebo in the 4th round, but I don't know if he will last that long but yah never know. As long as we can get Guard and the DL
upgraded I am for Skattebo even in the 3rd round, love this guy and he would bring a complete different skillset to our RB position than Chase
Brown. I know we brought in Samaje and he is a bit like Skattebo being a bigger, physical back but the upside of Boo is great and he can do it
all and would be the perfect RB to learn behind Samaje.
