You could also pay another interior guy and put him next to Jones if you wanted to theoretically.
Again, just hypothetically, but if the Commanders blow it out, they've got some DL that would really move the needle. Sweat has this year and his 5th year option left, then potentially a tag year so you could from a cost perspective have 3 years at nothing crazy.
Allen would be the gem of that but he's already on a big number IIRC.

Wharton/Saunders can be that guy alongside Jones. They're extremely strong complements to each other. I think what you'd like to see behind Jones is a true space-filler not unlike Nnadi or who Shelton was supposed to be (who Pennel was).
I think I may just not have much stomach for paying big $$ for DL anymore. It's a rotational position for the most part. Draft/develop and if you hit, extend. But I'm not excited about going outside the organization and paying with pick and cap space for defensive linemen anymore. That ship had probably raised it's sails some time ago for me, but then Clark simply burnt the mother****er to the waterline.
