It depends somewhat on what you do schematically, but in a scheme like Spagnuolo's, having good, smart, versatile safeties and slot defenders is super important.

The biggest worry I have about a round 1 edge is that it will be the 6th or 7th edge off the board, and at that point, are those guys going to be pro-bowl caliber players?

I've been spoiled into wanting a homerun with our early picks, and also terrified by our past edge picks of KPass and Kaindoh.

This proposed defense would be near last in the league? Where do you see this defense ranking?

I think you'd have a defense that's middle of the pack against the run and should be a lot more explosive against the pass. I've tried to pack on depth at all four DL positions, so when the inevitable Melvin Ingram injury comes down the pipeline, we're still two-deep across the board.

I think the secondary is ... alright. I honestly have just run out of resources with all the investments needed at WR, our own pending free agents, and DL.

I like the Odell and Gregory signings!

I like them too.

Unless Odell goes off for 150 in the Super Bowl, he should be attainable. And we know Veach has no problem circling back on players he's previously missed out on. Odell unlocks the offense and effectively breaks every defense we face.

Gregory is a roll of the dice but on a one-year term, you hope he keeps his head screwed on. Maybe the strength of the locker room along with the prospect of thriving next to three other stud DL and a Super Bowl possibility will keep him out of the dog house for 6 months. We'll see.
