I have no problem with drafting a DE, or any player, if the value is there. We aren't going to get the return on results with a top 3 pick this year if we use it on a DE.
The big problem, and something I think people need to get past, is the idea that there is a true 3 down DE in the draft this year, or that they are all that common. People need to start thinking about End by committee. I have no problem getting a guy in the middle rounds who is a speed rusher extraordinaire who can't defend the run for shit.
Hell, I wouldn't mind drafting a guy like Kyle Moore as a first and second down end and using another pick on a speed demon for third down.
You can't just have four ends anyway.
Then, next year, if you have a chance to draft an elite RDE, you take him, and can still put your speedster on the left side in passing situations, or mix and match, moving McBride inside in those situations.
