Quote:The problem is drafting an extra edge rusher would limit our ability to upgrade another position of need, not because of reluctance to trade down but the fact that only 53 players can make final cuts.

 

 

  I think it's worth considering 3 reasons why it's imperative to stay ahead of the curve at DE ? Edge Rusher:

 

  1.  It's one of the most impactful / differential positions in the NFL.

  2.  Injuries are more likely than not by the time the regular season starts.  A team needs a viable contingency plan at such an important position.

  3.  A GM can't by myopic.  You have to be proactive when it comes to eventually Free Agency.   One way to do that is have a continuous pipeline at DE.
