In other words, EDGE rusher. Or are you thinking Myles Garrett is going to shut the run down?


Barnett does.

But damn we couldn't pass on Lattimore.

So I think we did just fine, all things considered.

Defense- added a starting (and likely #1) corner, a likely starting FS with a nose for the ball (and who doesn't get beat deep), a possible future starter at LB if his shoulder is fine (I really, really don't care that he broke his forearm. Unless he has bone cancer, it's irrelevant), and a pure pass rusher with good speed and a good burst (4 blocked kicks says he is quick at the snap).
So what if the DE isn't a force against the run, I'm guessing the DTs and LBs will clean that up.

Offense- improved the O line, and added a serious weapon with fresh legs (Kamara sat behind Hurd a lot, instead of being ground up during his SEC career).

I'm going with an A, regardless of the last pick.
