Quote:Taking a top pass rushing talent isn't a luxury pick unless you have bucket loads of them already. Which we don't have.

 

 

We have Calais Campbell, Malik Jackson and Yannick Ngakoue. That's three really good pass rushers. That's more than most teams have. That isn't even counting Dante Fowler who may or may not improve this coming season. If we would draft another pass rusher, we don't need another DE/DT type. If anything, we should go after an edge rusher and there are plenty of good ones in this draft that can be had much later. Just look where we drafted Ngakoue. Allen lacks the burst to play off the edge in a 4-3 scheme. His 20 yard split was closer to the bottom half of the D-Linemen tested at the Combine. He needs to play on the inside in a 4-3 scheme, where he can use his power and technique to get by slower interior linemen. To me, it makes much more sense to add a true edge pass rusher in the middle rounds of the draft.
