What round would you target a DE and has any names piqued your interest. 

I've not researched any. That's for the professional scouts. I just know what they've being trying isn't working and it's because of the light ass players they've been drafting.  They've targeted fast players on defense and all are weak in both the run and the pass. Too much focus has been put on speed and not enough on strength and ability.

They better not get another tweener DE.  I'm tiired of the hybrid crap we've been running unsuccessfully for years. Get real DE's and DT's and stop this tweener horseshit.

I'd say it's at least possible they go full on 3-4.

Probably depends on who the DC is.

I believe that was Phil Snows MO. Light backers to run his 3-3 stack, hybrid nickel Big Nickel, Little nickel. The DE’s, Will, or Sam backers can play zone coverage, which sucks in run support.

you mean objectively?

Meaning something other than your tinfoil hat / uninformed speculation.

I'd start with the annual agent survey that The Athletic does where they rate GMs and personnel people on things like football knowledge and trustworthiness. Fitterer and Morgan have both been discussed in the most recent few of those.

There's also plenty to find in recent articles centered around the hiring of Frank Reich.

He was trying to build a hybrid defense that he could use for multiple fronts and against any offense they went up against.  The problem is you cannot have 30 players on defense to rotate in and out like in college.

      Outside of cerrato, I do like our draft overall. Hard to get can't miss draft picks when you pick late in the draft

      Not a Moore fan-but he had a few good games last year-but I want players that scare you--Renfrow's route running and intelligence, Legette's size, speed, and strength, AT's intelligence and route running, Coker's body control, strong hands, and abilty to win contested catches, and TMac's size, body control, and ability to find soft spots in zone coverages.  Horn gives them the ability to stretch the field and he plays special teams.   Moore has a nice smile and can dance.  He filled in well last season, but to get better as a team, you have to upgrade your players.  I think Moore is a bottom of the roster guy who got bumped when we drafted 2 WRs and signed a legit free agent.  Here is the thing--TMac makes us better because he is great against the zone--man?  Good luck with that.  AT's role can be reduced, and that is probably a good thing.  He can specialize in situational football. Coker?  Just getting started. XL?  Just getting started.  Drafting TMac was probably a bit of a wake up call, but XL will be better as the 2. Renfrow?  I see him splitting reps with AT--keeping both fresh and giving different looks. Horn?  Watch the safety cheat his side when he is in the game--I see a young Steve Smith type in him, but he has yet to play a game.  I hear that Morgan loves him.
