And I think there's a good chance Ron Brace ends up being a better 3-4 NT than Raji.

Understood, however the 3-4 wasn't nearly as popular as it has become in recent years. If you'll notice the trend, they've continued to go higher ever year. We have a chance to get our version of Ngata and I would say, given our needs, that's priority one to get taken care of. Just my two cents, but I think we'll continue to see NT as a highly coveted position because of the rarity of finding someone to actually man the position. The pick isn't sexy, but I believe it would do more for shoring up our defense than any other move we could make, given the players in the draft. I like Brace, but he isn't nearly as explosive as Raji is.
