A reason I can think of is that they're not very good.
I am holding out hope for Conley and Chesson, but I haven't seen a ton from Chesson to lead me to feel that way. Robinson -- meh. He's not a guy that's getting a ton of separation in camp and while he looked pretty good on that deep throw from Mahomes, I have little faith in him for when the bullets start flying Week 1.

Good counter point!
I thought that us being cash strapped and having our top two NTs poised for free agency left us with little options.
But I hadn't considered the counterargument of "that's terrible." I shall reconsider.

That's correct. Since I'm talking about the 2018 draft, and we've had only one preseason game for the 2017, everything I'm saying is speculative.
And I'm speculating that ILB is going to need some serious upgrades. Wilson is our only viable option for the future at this point, though I'll hold out hope for KPL and Eligwe -- and to a lesser extent, March.
