Manny Lawson should be our 1st pick

Many successful DEs came into the league at the same weight Lawson is now and they were able to transition into everydown players.

Maybe Lawson will be an everydown guy this year, maybe he won't.....however, I don't think that's the point. If he creates havoc and gets in the backfield consistently when he is on the field, then he is definitely worth a 1st round pick in my eyes.

We have NO ONE on this team that has the natural pass rush ability that he has, and adding a player like that to this defense will help immensely.
