Rookie DTs usually take a couple of seasons to really come into their own so you'd probably almost need to pick up a short-term solution in FA.
My list there would probably be:
1. Justin Madubuike - He's young and getting better and stronger, he plays 3-4 end so moving down a tick and playing 4-3 3T might make his pass rush a bit stronger.
2. Leonard Williams - He's the same age as Chris and might be a solid rental
3. Christian Wilkins - Another vet who is solid but probably alot less potential than Williams to have a big sack season.
As for the draft, that's debatable and I won't offer up much on that front. Here are some early favs...
1. Jer'Zahn Newton, Illinois
2. Gabe Hall, Baylor
3. Kris Jenkins, Michigan
4. DeWayne Carter, Duke
5. Nathan Pickering, Miss St
