Trevis Gibson is better than anyone they will draft this late...and as I said, they can bring in another backup Edge that has experience (like Bud Dupree) who would also be better than a draft pick this late.

First, I would remind people that Gipson failed to make his team's 53 man roster last year despite being on a rookie contract.  He then went to another team where he only had 1 sack over the course of a season.  However, let's put that aside for now.  Even if you are confident in Gipson, that's 1 backup edge.  You need at least 2 and preferably 3 on the 53 man roster.  Backup edge is still a big need.

Second, if you think a free agent would be better than a draft pick at this point, that's fine.  However, that's a value argument.  I was responding to someone who didn't think backup edge was a need.
