[QUOTE="pack_in_black, post: 146775, member: 631"] You're so knowledgeable. Thank you for stating that you draft defensive line for immediate play. I guess all it takes to play DL in the NFL is 300+ lbs and some speed. You're right. There's no large amount of technique to learn when you're facing 10+ year veterans on [b]EVERY FREAKING DOWN[/b], so yeah, it's best to just learn on the job, cause a rookie on the DL couldn't possibly be a liabiilty. Yeah, none of the starters mentioned have made a probowl yet. Neither have Leon Hall, Michael Griffin, Aaron Ross, Reggie Nelson, Dwayne Bowe or Greg Olson. so I don't really see your point there. Both Harris and Chuck have long contracts, so obviously the FO plans on those two shutting down teams first and second options for a few more years. The same logic you use for not drafting a DT would apply here, IMO. If you look at our scheme, it works at optimal capacity when the D-line is fresh. We don't have two starting-capable DT's. We have 4/5 that constantly rotate, staying fresh and bringing starter-caliber play on every down. That many guys, not all are guaranteed to be here in 1-2 years. Just doesn't happen. So why not have a guy who's been groomed to step in when that becomes a need, and a guy who can bring Pro Bowl-caliber play? [/QUOTE]
