This years DT class is kinda weak.  I think we need to do like the Colts did when they traded for Buckner

I still say we are in pretty good position to get Jaylen Twyman or Darius Stills in the draft. Both are really good pass rushing 3 techniques that should go in that mid first to early second round range. Twyman is gonna go before Stills, but both could help us. After these two though, the class drops off a cliff and there's nothing that will be available in the 2021 free agent class outside of Ndamukong Suh who is will be 34 years old, almost 35 by the time the season starts in 2021. It will be very hard to trade for an Akiem Hicks type player. Teams tend to wanna keep guys like that. We could try to make a trade for a guy like Geno Atkins, but the Bengals are likely gonna want some kind of O-Lineman along with some high picks. Who are we willing to part with? I'd say the asking price for Atkins could be a 1st, 3rd and Brandon Linder. Are we willing to pay that?

I like your thoughts on drafting young DT's. Late first or early second round would be likely if those guys are there.

Geno Atkins will be 33 next year.  No way the price for him would be that high... you could probably get him for a 3rd by itself.  That being said, I wouldn't do it... his production is going to drop quickly.  Keep our draft picks and let our new GM build for the future.  We won't be in a position to win next season anyway with this roster.
