"...You wouldn’t bother taking an end in the draft unless something entirely unexpected happened; he couldn’t make your roster … this group is absolutely set for 2018."

No position is ever so set that someone couldn't come in and challenge the roster and to think so is elitism at its absolute worst.

But yeah, I'm looking forward to watching the position for the next few seasons.

Agreed. If I had Bruce Smith and Reggie White playing on my team and there was a guy sitting there at 29 that shouldn't have probably fell that far and he's a JJ Watt, Julius Peppers or Michael Strahan type of defensive end that you rated highly. I am taking him anyway. Well coached teams find ways to maximize their personnel. They find ways to scheme their best overall pass rushing unit out on the field during obvious passing situations. 

And if Coughlin has a hand in it you know he'll be looking at every position. This is a guy who had Strahan and Umenyiora at DE and still drafted guys like Tuck, Kiwanuka and eventually Pierre-Paul to keep the pass rush consistent.
