That's a bit melodramatic. Hali is at least a league average LE, if not slightly above average. Dorsey has the potential to be an all-pro DT. Tyler, I don't really know. He could be an above average player in a 4-3.
The biggest problem is that the defense has no RDE, or any linebackers other than Johnson, who himself isn't much to sneeze at.
With that being said, our players have been playing in an antiquated scheme that does not suit their talents. This team should at the very least, run a base 4-3 with more of a blitzing element for a year.
We aren't going to be any good next year, anyway, and we aren't going to get a 12-14 sack guy with the value in this draft.
Get the QB, fix the right side of the line, another skill position player, and part of the linebacking corps. Next year, finish up the LBs and add your premier pass rusher.
