I already had a DL penciled in for this draft but now it's practically guaranteed. It went from a quiet need that a lot of people were overlooking to a pretty pressing need without Robinson.

It is a pressing need, but there are several pressing needs. I would still think that OL, LB and Safety are just as important, if not more.

Ashawn is solid but for 12m a year we can find similar production for much less. If we can't find a trade partner, I'd be open to bringing him back at a much lower number but me personally I wanna see more reps for Bobby Brown and Cam Jackson. It is what it is with Tershawn Wharton that was a massive overpay by Morgan and Brandt but his contract is structed to where we can get out pretty clean next offseason so at least let's give him this year to see if he can turn it around.

Right or wrong nobody seems to use the type of NT used 10-20 years ago.

Many starting NT make ours look huge.

Evero prefers that smaller NT. I think the reason they don't use that many of the Wilfork style NT is there just aren't enough of them to go around. 360-375 is a lot of weight to sling around, and there aren't a lot of guys that can play dominantly at that size with the power needed to demand double teams consistently. 

Even with Star/Short, Star ate an extra lineman most plays and that freed up Short 1v1. 

I prefer a 4-3 with ball hawking LBs. To me, it's just more versatile because the hub of your defense isn't revolving around the health and dominance of a single D lineman. Also, with only a few between the tackle power backs, the run game has changed as well with a lot more dump offs and short yardage passing. 

 

I've heard the smaller NT, Ive also watched his defense get blasted on run defense for nearly 80% of the games. I mean that whole year without brown, that was the worst Panthers defense in history, I was embarrassed for them. Brown carrys this whole unit like Rico did for a few games, just brown does it for the whole year. 

 

get a MOF like this in the middle and alllll of sudden the brown, horn, Wallace etc jobs get lots easier.....

from trading back??

I think Dan knows after mid-5th every teams board is different and its basically UDFA time. Dan and his team have had good success in the UDFA pool, very aggressive and they get some of best ava. I mean Thor, Richardson, Fitz, harrsion-hunte, bam, and Coker. That's legit as comes for UDFAs....others are still here in the PS too.
