Basically....Would you take a 3rd rd DE who puts up almost equal numbers to a 1st rd DE and take another player in the 1st; or would you spend the 1st on Fowler and hope another 3rd rd player will be as good as Yann.

Yann is ok but he is far from great. Don't want the team to overpay him.

Imo Fowler is slightly better and I wouldn't pay him over 16 million per year either.

True.  He isnt a star DE but he is above average at his position.  I blame our staff for player shortcomings more than some of the players.  Players being put in the wrong position and not being coached properly is the main problem.  Players aren't going to excel or grow in the wrong position with bad coaching.  Its just a relief that most here now see that.  Debating about player potential with the thought of good coaching is one thing, when the coaching is seen as horrible though, the argument is null and void.
