Definitely. NT needs to be a concern as well.

I’d add a #2 TE before corner too...

Confident we can find an ILB and S in the draft. It's the DL that worries me as far as the draft goes.

Am I wrong in hoping that our first pick goes towards the best rush backer left on the board? I have no faith in Dee Ford and I don't know what to think of KPass.

So would you take the 15th best rush backer or one of the top 5 players at a different position. Yes OLB/Edge is a need, but you can't just focus on one need at a premium position.

Yeah I know, and with the way players fly off the board in bunches it's not a good plan. I just think we're kind of hosed at the position, especially with the way Sutton uses Houston as a corner/safety half the time.

You're not wrong in the least, Veach made this move to free his hand during the draft

Ford has proven rush ability, combined with injury, willpower and why even keep him next season concerns

Kpass has freakish upside, but is still an extremely raw project until given the chance to prove otherwise... we'll see

It seems inevitable that we take an edge rusher either through the draft or free agency, there are too many question marks to be ignored there

The CB corp appears to be set now, that can only mean Veach is now ready to focus elsewhere... like OLB, DL and just maybe safety

If only the right guy fell. I’m definitely focusing on DL and ILB along with S at 54 and round 3. But you can never have enough corners and couple of these guys have health issues to begin with (Nelson, Amerson and Fuller).
