Most rounds 1-3 guys I've been hearing about from people so far are DEs, DBs and TEs. I've heard a few people mention Jaleel Johnson but not much other than that. Was just curious if there were any DTs that people would be interested in us drafting early.

Doubt we will be drafting a DT high this year. Most of the higher rated DT's coming out are 3-techs and Collins is the heir apparent there. With Paea and Thornton manning the 1-tech, may see them draft a big boy late, but I kinda doubt it. All our high picks should go to D-ends and secondary.
But next year ......

Also depends on how they view Irving. He might be best off inside.

This is a weak DT class. Especially if you consider Allen a DE. The only real projected 1st rounder if you do is Malik McDowell and he's as inconsistent as they come.

Dalvin Tomlinson is going to be a monster in run defense. He won't be drafted high because he's a two down player but he will dominate in the NFL.

I also like Jaleel Johnson and D.J. Jones. Ogunjobi is intriguing.

I feel like DJ Jones is perfect for our D. Stout and strong but also has a good burst. I feel like Paea may have killed our hopes of a DT being picked inside the 1st 4 rounds tho.
