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.

Back up edge rush is a secondary need. They guys left in the draft after Isaac got drafted aren't better than Gipson or Abdullah that we already have. We're also changing schemes and i believe were going to run 425 as our base set which means that beef on the line is priority over lightweight pass rushers. I would've rather gotten a true defensive end like Oboigbe than an stand up edge like Muhammed Kamara.
