But the above shows the value of this pick.  Ideally, you'd like to be in a position to draft a year ahead.  Doing so enables you to work a guy in somewhat slowly, such that you will have excellent depth at a position and not depend upon a rookie to have to come in and play top notch football.  Then, after the guy has been in your system for a year, he can replace the older, expensive vet.

We have so many permutations with our DL with this pick (assuming we keep all of our guys this year), it will be difficult for opponents to get a full handle on our guys.

Our base rotation would naturally be

(1st team)
Ngakoue
Dareus
Jackson
Campbell

(2nd team)
Fowler
Jones
Bryan
Smoot

But depending upon the matchups presented by the offensive line, they could be mixed and matched any number of ways.

I just hope we hit on the player.

We had some trouble stopping the run last year.  I anticipate Campbell- Jones- Dareus- Bryan on some obvious run situations.  And that line up can still disrupt the pass.
