I actually agree.  I think DE is a much larger issue than DT.  After the tenuous Trey situation, we have a lot of unproven guys.  I feel like they're putting a lot of faith in Murphy and Ossai, moreso Ossai.  

At DT, there isn't a ton of proven quality, either, but the 4 guys in the rotation have the potential to be adequate if the 2nd year guys develop.  That's not a huge ask IMO.  Slaton is the NT they didn't have.  He's no Reader to be sure, but he's better than what we had in 2024, which was nothing.

I honestly think they need more than one DE.  They need a twitchy edge guy and another big, typical Bengal DE.
