I really like Andre Carter too! Here's my plan for the DL...
RD 1 - DT Byran Breese, 6-5 305 lbs (If he falls somehow to 15-20 due to ACL)
RD 2 - DE Tuli Tuipuloto, 6-4 290 lbs
RD 3 - Traded Up in 1st
or
RD 1 - DE Andre Carter, 6-7 260
RD 2 - RT Dawond Jones, 6-8 358
RD 3 - DT Keenan Benton, 6-4 315
By the metrics this DL isn't as bad as we all thought, add a couple guys and they could become
really solid. My #1 guy, outside of Will Anderson on a miracle, would probably be DT Byron Bresee if he somehow falls to the 15-20 range due to his ACL injury. But with 15.5 sacks under his belt last year I really love Andrew Carter as our new speed rusher opposite of Furious George! Or how about Tuli Tuipuloto!? Guy's got some serious speed at 290 lbs! Spending a 2nd to sure up our RT spot would be nice, and then maybe pray that a quality DL somehow falls to the 3rd where we'd likely have to move up to pick him. Tag OBJ, he's PFF's highest graded tackle in pass blocking over the last 6 weeks. We're currently top 3 SB contenders with him, give it one more year. If we can pull off the above then we have the luxury of moving up for a replacement LT next year.
