Quote:Ask yourself this: Considering that of the ten players who play on the Defensive Line in Jacksonville, there are four of them who have played less than five years in the League. Of the remaining six, four of those have played more than six.

 

While it is a good group, it is probably the oldest on the team. Wouldn't that mean that new, young talent needs to be added?

 

Now compound that with the idea that Defensive Linemen typically go early and often in a typical draft. If you see a good Defensive Lineman, you better get him early. He probably won't be around the next time you get to draft.

 

Of course I would want to pick a defensive lineman early if we needed one. But we don't have anyone in that position group who is near retirement or past his prime, so even with the veterans it is still a young line.

 

Like I said, if there is someone as good as J.J. Watt in the draft, I would not be mad if we pick him. But I can't justify picking a player who will be "just another guy" on the line.
