DJB Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 I truly believe that DT is one of our biggest needs after this season. Kyle is 34 and had to be begged to come back, Dareus is a question and i can certainly see a scenario where he isn't welcomed back next year. Outside of a move up for a QB in next years draft i really think we will be moving up for a DT as well.
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 Not moving up. But let's be honest: Kyle is likely not going to stay much longer. It is something to keep an eye on.
DJB Posted September 11, 2017 Author Posted September 11, 2017 No. Any more of an in depth insight you might provide as to why? For me if you look at Carolina they invested heavily on their front four. Its obviously important to McDermott
NewEra Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 How about just draft a DT with one of our many picks? I'd be shocked if we traded up for a DT. I agree that it is a big need following the season

Dragonborn10 Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 DT and LB in the first round. They don't need to move up to get either. In fact they can probably trade down and still get both. Of course we will have to see what happens in FA but I don't see QB in the first round. Certainly not trading up for a QB. If one or two fall, then sure go ahead and pick your guy. Otherwise it will be DT, LB, LB, OL.
JinxedBill1 Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 I think DT, LBer and RB are needs this next draft as well as QB. Williams is done this next year if we don't win.
The Frankish Reich Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 Maybe it's just me, but usually when a team holds the opponent to 38 yards rushing/2.5 yards per carry the first thing that pops into my mind isn't "the defensive tackle position is a massive need going forward."
DJB Posted September 11, 2017 Author Posted September 11, 2017 They could easily draft a DT, but trading up to do so I can't see. You are probably right. A trade up is unlikely but i still believe that DT is a major need.
Prickly Pete Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 DT and LB in the first round. They don't need to move up to get either. In fact they can probably trade down and still get both.

PIZ Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 Who knows what will happen, but QB and LB have to be high on the list. For this season, I'm worried about Shady's backup. Without him, this offense is really bad.
Mark Vader Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 Any more of an in depth insight you might provide as to why? For me if you look at Carolina they invested heavily on their front four. Its obviously important to McDermott Carolina DT Star Lotuleilei is an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season.....just saying.

Kyle is 34 and had to be begged to come back, Dareus is a question and i can certainly see a scenario where he isn't welcomed back next year. Outside of a move up for a QB in next years draft i really think we will be moving up for a DT as well. I would maybe move up into the fifth round for the right DT prospect. Weren't you happy with limiting the Jets to 30 yards rushing? Or would you like to see that number closer to 15?
LABILLBACKER Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 I'm 100% convinced Kyle will retire after this season and Marcel's act will also end. We'll need 2 DT's....
CDogg20 Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 Carolina DT Star Lotuleilei is an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season.....just saying.Love the idea. Star is a baller. Grab one in the draft too or are we still hoping adolphus turns into something?
yungmack Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 Jeez, it's week one...and a win. Could you hold back on panic mode for a few more weeks. I mean, the D line just had a spectacular day stopping the run.
billspro Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 Honestly I think Worthy can handle a starting role. He has looked great for the last year. Washington keeps improving as well. It would be easy to add a free agent and a draft pick to the competition as well. Dareus better start trying or he might lose a lot of playing time to worthy this year.
