Depends on who we selected at #4 and who else is available at #34. That said, he would certainly be a viable option there and I have heard that is the general sweet spot for DL. You could also look at CB, WR, RB, TE, etc.

I was just doing a few Mock Drafts on Paper and keep having him sitting there and was wondering.....it seems I read hes 6-6 330 ?

Thanks wrong numbers must have read for another Player. But hes primarily a DT really not sure
we have a strong need there compared to DE

Yep.

Agree that DE is a bigger need now, but if they select Bosa at #4 then DE should be taken care of.

In a round about way and I can't answer the main reason why but Joey Bosa doesn't excite me at #4.

I agree with this. With the signing of Thornton, I'm guessing that we probably go in a different direction unless a talent slides dramatically at DT and it's too good to pass on. JMO

I think on Bosa it's because I was watching NFL Network and they were saying he would be a solid Player
and good against the run but would never really be a sack artist might get you 7 or 8 a year. I want a guy
that can get 13 to 15 Sacks !!! Stay in the QB's face kind of like Haley

I don't think it would necessarily be a sexy pick like a Wentz/Goff, Elliott or Ramsey but I think it would be a solid pick based on all I have read.

What if Thornton goes down? Just pick BPA and Butler is a good DT.

Marinelli is going to want pass rushing edge and 3 techs with high picks.

Not so so sure about that. Thornton is a good run defender but he is likely to come of the field in Nickel and Dime which we run a majority of the time. Interior pass rush is crucial to this defense so they may value a 3 Tech higher then most fans think

I would love it if they did but this is a deep draft at DT. I think they would wait till later in the draft to pick a DT and even if they do take a DT, I suspect that a 3Tech with rush ability would have to come from a vet. I don't see a rookie filling that need. JMO.

Vernon Butler got glowing review from Sturm, but DantheMan has him at #9 of DTs and a bad fit for the 4-3, playing too high.
I'll defer to the our resident and say no to Butler until the 3rd round.

I think the most NFL ready players in the draft are Rankins, Treadwell and Joseph. I'd love to find a way to get two of them. Maybe with a trade down in the 1st if a QB isn't there.
