He's not going to like this.
I'd be happy with that group along with a Donald/Sutton/Easley pairing with Jeffcoat in April.
Probably right, I'm sure he's written in as our LDE in ink.
And to be honest, I'm not 100% against the idea. There were times when I liked what I saw and if Selvie is his primary backup/rotational guy I think it could work.
The thing is with Ware's injuries the last couple of years we would still need Jeffcoat to backup Ware as our RE. Donald/Sutton/Easley to step in when Hatcher gets hurt or worn down. I'd love to draft those guys and go into a heavy rotation on the D-line. Just like everyone else has mentioned though, if we sign Hatcher and keep Ware, Dallas will probably draft RBs/LBers/TEs instead.
Jeffcoat is a perfect RE. I'm not sure it really impacts Crawford. Hell imagine pass rushing situations. You could move Crawford to DT. Leave Hatcher/draft pick at the other DT spot. Then go with Jeffcoat at LE and Ware at RE. That would be a pretty killer D-line in pass rush situations. Then you could even blitz a guy like Wilber from the SLBer spot where I think he should be starting.
What do you think this organization values more, a 3rd/4th DE or a 3rd/4th WR or CB, 2nd RB, etc.?
Well that sad part of that is Ware looked like he was on his last legs last year. So what you are really talking about is a 3rd DE for a year or two and then probably a starting RE for many years after. Jeffcoat has impressed me enough that I would have no problem taking him in the second round. I'd say he is my next favorite pass rusher after Dee Ford.
They absolutely should.
I like Jeffcoat myself and I bet we could get even get him in the 3rd.
The problem is, we had all of those pieces minus the draft picks last draft and it was sufficient enough not to use high picks on the line. I could easily seeing him doing the same again this year.
The good news about Jeffcoat is his marketability 1. being from UT and 2. being a former player/Super Bowl champions son.
Yeah, this.
Spencer was a huge piece to the puzzle last year that they depended on and only got 1 game out of.
We still have zero depth. Well, not really. Unless you're counting on Bass/Selvie as depth.
Selvie is quite good depth.
So, we have one reliable player as depth along the entire defensive line. We need to draft the line high.
No shit.
