Twitter: Osa contract details

Yeah. We need to build a rotation, not just have one or two starter-quality guys, if that. The goal needs to be having several players the quality of Odig or better to mix and match and cause havoc in the center of the defense. That makes your edge rushers better. It makes it tougher on the QB because he can't step into his throws as well. Frees up the linebackers to go make plays. And clogs the interior so more runs have to be bounced laterally.

We've lacked it for years, and still lack the kind of stud you need in the middle, but Osa's contract doesn't prevent us for going after one. It might with this front office, but it shouldn't. If our first-round pick is not a DT (simply because of who is available), our second should be, even if we have to slide around a little to make it happen. (I'm not opposed to trading back slightly in the first if we don't believe that any of the DTs besides Graham is worthy of 12. It depends on who else is at 12, but that would definitely be an option for me.)
So true. Depth, especially on dline was really bad last year. DT is a position you don’t want a guy, but 3-4 guys. It’s just too demanding of a position for a guy to plsy 70-80% of snaps. Graham is a complete player bult likely gone when we pick. A guy I like that might fall into 3rd is Phillips from Maryland. A true one tech who’s strong against the run, quick and strong. And he’s only 20
 
Dang... I didn't realize average defensive linemen were getting $20mil a year.
