If we pass on DT in rounds 1 and 2 are we destined for failure on defense?

[panther4life]

Say we take a CB AND DE in the first 2 rounds and add no names discussed so far in free agency. What does the mean for our D if our starting tackles come from our current roster?

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

Possibly....but maybe not.

Didn't u just post a much much longer thread saying the exact damned thing? This is why I refrain from signing in during the offseason, but for you I made an exception!

[Pejorative Miscreant]

Not necessarily failure. I argue that there is not one dt that will significantly standout above what we have now. By mid season a couple of these guys will probably blossom but they could also have growing pains. Brockers has huge upside (apparently) but he will not be a world beater day one. Jury is still out on Poe and Still but I think Edwards would be a competent alternative.

yes i did, but I specifically wanted to hear from Catsgrowl, P55,FIZ, Raging Bull and Killer Kat and anyone else who staunchly supports DT in the first 2 rounds. They may not go back to that thread. Just want to give them every opportunity to see and answer the question.

contestant # 1 has already dodged the question.

ZOmG if I say there isn't a DT we should take then there isn't WUT about DaT do u people not understand?!!11!!!eleven!!!! It doesn't MATTER what those affiliated with the game say U should Listen to me I mean gah iz u dum er what??

i would have no problems with that. i just dont see how a LB (4-3 LB)that does not go after the QB gets taken in the top 10 as bpa. no matter what scheme you run on defense it all starts up front with the DL.

[beastson]

We drafted 2 DT last year and signed a shitload of them. I dont even know all of our DT's names

[BeasonBeastingBacks]

might as well contract the team if they don't draft a DT in the first 2 rounds

he did what was asked him....and was the best LB in football.

he has the skill set where he can do whatever is needed. Upfront in this scheme and pressure means front 7, not front 4.

[chef17]

Well with just that knowledge this is a stupid question. Without knowing who the CB and DE are, how well and quickly they pick up the scheme and adjust to the NFL, whether they start or are situational, whether Beason and Davis come back, etc. there is no way to even have a good guess to answer the question.

[pantherclaw]

You must agree!!

If you have a valid argument, i'll ignore it and start another thread with basically the same topic!!

I am smart!!
