If there is one there that is worth the #12 pick, you absolutely take him. A great DT shuts down the middle of the D and collapses the pocket, can be extremely disruptive. I am still pissed we missed out on Star Lotuleli by a single slot in 13. Would have shored up the interior for a long time.

I just don't think there is. A'Shawn is a scary prospect IMO. He looks the part but also played next to a 1st round DT and stacked defense. Not many OL's in college have the talent to stop that kind of talented front and even then he struggled with consistency. Outside of his LSU/Miss St games...I would say he was mostly a disappointment. He is a freak physically which is why people are high on him but with our DT track record and his background it could spell misfire on our team.

Danny Shelton and Star were obvious takes IMO the years they came out and I openly wanted both. I do not want a DT in this draft at 12.
