This is a great write-up. Thanks!
I agree with almost everything here, with the following 2 thoughts:
1. I would have no problem signing an older DT who is still productive, esp. if we are able to get Jordan Davis in the draft. Would be nice to have an older vet with the younger rookies, and we still have a young DT room with Harry, Davis and Oliver. McLendon may be a decent value. I just wouldn't cap the age at 29, I think we are young enough you get the best guy you can, even if "short-term".
2. I would prefer Osbah at DE over Key, I think Osbah will develop and provide better pass rush value. But I see the argument for flexibility with Key. Could we let Addison and Hughes go and get them both? Not sure I would, but interesting thought.
3. When AJ was drafted, wasn't it stated that he could also slide inside? Has this ever happened? He seems to lack the "burst" you need from a DE.
