While I agree with you, I don't think we'll be looking at DL in the first. If we pick up Melton's option or just resign him, I think the rotation of him, Crawford and Brent will be enough for us to look elsewhere. Lawrence will be penciled in at one DE spot and be given every opportunity to keep it without much competition.Since we're quite clearly going to be nowhere near the 1st overall pick, I'd like to point out that I really like how this class is shaping up in terms of our first round pick. Our biggest need is obviously DL, whether it be DE or DT, and that seems to be the deepest position group in this years class, definitely in the 1st round.
You have elite talent at the top in Williams and Gregory, guys like Oakman and Ray who probably go in the top 15 and then a multitude of guys who could be 1st rounders in Dante Fowler, Shilique Calhoun, Alvin Dupree, Eddie Goldman, Danny Shelton, Arik Armstead and Mario Edwards Jr.
I didn't like Calhoun when we were talking about him in the top 10 area but if we're sitting at 24 and he's there?
I'm good with that, I also like this Dupree guy alot, he looks explosive off the edge and has some size to him.
So that leaves one DE spot. I can easily see them resign Selvie to play it and go with a middle round player for depth.
But don't worry, there will be plenty of CBs to be had where we pick.
