If we take a DE at #7, much less Gary, I'll be ready to dump this team. We don't need a starting DE. We could use DE depth, but you don't draft depth in the first 3 rounds when you're coming off a bad season with a losing record. We drafted for depth in the first round last year with Bryan and it bit us in the butt. We had real needs that we ignored. We need to build for now.

taking someone you have pegged as becoming top tier pass rusher is never a bad choice, even if there are better choices around. Calais is likely gone next year and we have next to nothing outside him and Yan. 
And no we didn't draft for depth with Byran , we drafted him because he has massive upside at a key position we had a need at with Malik going
