Our DE get blown away. Id like to draft bigger ends. Jared Ivey, Landon Jackson, Jordan Burch ( all in this draft), or Red Bryant size ends. Put the smaller, quicker ends in on obvious pass downs. We have to get tougher up front and stop the run

I like the 4 3. Two dts and two de. We have Williams and Reed and Murphy. Web do need some kind of stud or unstoppable force to make a real good line.

I think we do but I think our biggest missing piece to this defense is a true huge run stuffing NT. Build from the front back, from the middle out.
I would like a Vita Vea type nosetackle as well. I really like Zach Sieler from the Dolphins. Who in the draft fits the bill?

I would like to see Leonard Williams at end on early downs. Draft a NT and play Reed or Murphy inside next him.

We aren’t getting him but mason graham. Corleone from Cincy looked good but he declared to stay 1 more season. Tyleik Williams is a little intriguing. I haven’t begun watching enough tape yet though.

Wasnt Cameron Young supposed to be our DT?? So much for that
Young is little in 0-tech terms. Especially in a defense that plays odd-numbered fronts quite a bit. I always saw him as kind of a tweener between nose and three tech. Even if he had panned out, I think a 320+ pound double team eater that isn't at the end of their career would help free up linebackers (and Williams and Murphy) quite a bit.

Williams is our sack leader at 9 with Hall at 8, those totals combined are what league leader Hendrickson has at 17.5 sacks! So yes, we need a true edge rusher.
