Moved to 11th Overall, but still a lot of football left!

That is our biggest need and it is a great class to find one. The issue I have with the top 5, don't see many elite interior pass rushers, but very good run stoppers at this stage.
You have to develop defensive linemen. They take time. The Ravens All-Pro defensive tackle didn’t pop until the final year of his contract. We need to draft one but also bring in a free agent. The 2nd Michigan tackle would be a worthy selection in the middle of the first as would the Oregon tackle as well.

I have a weird feeling that after we beat the midgets Thursday, we might win just enough games to get a wildcard, thus justifying Jerry and his ridiculous takes.

I think Grant has a chance to been in that top 12 consideration. Re-watched him and he is real good.

I have looked at 20 of Dane’s top 50 players and I see only two elite All-Pro caliber rookies (Hunter&Jeanty). Carter, Graham, and the rest are really good prospects but in a great draft they all would be picked in the middle of the first. That is why I think we will be fine even if we get to 7 wins.

Grant might be a better run defender but Harmon is DT 2 for me.

I think he gives the best blend of run defense and pass rush out of anyone outside of Graham.

Incredibly disruptive.

It's going to be a good debate as the offseason progresses, there are also some good DT prospects after the 1st rd.
