So you're looking at mostly 3rd and beyond.  So you basically the idea that IDL is an issue isn't really a thing...

Dude, our D-Line is pretty dog on solid.  What in the world, based on this game we just played, makes anyone think that we're suspect on the D-Line, specifically the "IDL"?

Yeah, we have to always draft depth and develop those we draft.  But why focus on an interior D-Lineman when we already have many of them and we have so many other needs?  We have O-Line needs, right?  I thought that was the thing that people were freaking out about.  

And now, with a D-Line that is 4th best in Run Defense, we have people calling out our D-Line???  What world are we living in?

Probably a look at our cap space and realizing that if you are looking for affordable replacement of present performance, Foley may be the easiest to replicate on the cheap.

Hamilton got paid, but hasn't seen the field. The depth behind him is not matching his output. We can fix that!

I'm also more concerned about pass rush and contain than I am rushing stats. It's a pass the ball and rush the passer league. Being stout against the run is fine, but few teams are relying on the run to win in today's game.

We're in a pretty good position, roster-wise. At this stage, we are fine-tuning, not wholesale overhauling. We have to spend the picks somewhere. Everyone in the thread is already saying that OL is the primary focus, but IDL help would be good, too. What would you propose otherwise? Darft yet another RB? How about an inside backer? We could always pull a Gene Smiff and grab a starting punter. That worked out, right?
