I don't see them signing any Jordan type defensive ends and all the good speed rushers are gone.


True, but we need someone to at least stop the run if our 1st/2nd round draft pick doesn't pan out. Kruger sure as hell isn't the guy & Tapp is on his last leg(although he played good last year). Kikaha & Edebali could provide a pass rush hopefully, but most teams ran on us outside the tackles(on the side that Jordan wasn't on).

It won't be a problem if we hit on our draft pick, but it creates a massive hole if he isn't ready yet.

At least we don't have to worry about DT for 2 more years. We're pretty much set there with our 4 guys.

Curious to see what our current players do with a fresh and likely more competent coaching staff. I've seen a lot of raw talent being under-coached for the last few years.

When we drafted him Payton said he viewed Onyemata as a defensive end, but that they'd start him out inside.

Between Jordan, Rankins, Fairley, Onyemata, Davison, and maybe Tapp if brought back we have that covered.

On the other hand we have Kikaha and maybe Edebali if brought back as a rusher. We need rushers. We don't need to populate the roster with any more bigs.
