I think the reason you're seeing so many of us lean towards Edge (and hell, Veach for that matter) is that the draft board will naturally leave better edge talent than the remaining position groups because there's just so damn much of it.

I mean it's possible 1/3 of the draft goes DL before us - it's happened that way before. But if you're open to Travis Jones or Sam Williams at the back of the 1st, you STILL are likely to have guys you like sitting there. And both of those guys have 1st round talent.

O.City seems to think there’s some rule that you can’t get a good edge rusher without a top 15 pick.

Odds aren’t necessarily in your favor of getting an ass kicker after that.

You can get good ones but it gets tougher.

No need to get triggered again
