Like every single draft pick he was drafted to fill a need along with being one of the highest on their board. The future need was 3 tech.  

Yeah I don't agree with that draft logic at all. Outside of Calais (who's old and will be gone in 2 years at best) and Yannick, who are our edge rushers? You might not wanna take a DE over some positions but its absolutely an area we need good talent at + there will be some really good guys available at 7.   I can name at least 5 positions I'd prefer to take a DE at #7 over

I'm suppose to take the first part of this post serious, after I read that you're trying to tell me this team needs to draft another DL player in the top 7??......

This team had a top 5 Defense this year, all while dealing with arguably the worst Offense in the entire league and you're really going to sit here and try to justify taking another DL player with a top 7 pick, in a Defensive heavy draft....

Your reading comprehension isn't the best. There's plenty of positions I'd rather take than edge but (and this is the important part to this so pay attention) it is by no means the worst position we could take at 7, like you said. Our backup edges are Lerentee Mcray and Smoot man. Drafting a corner is worse than drafting an edge, drafting a Lb at 7 is worse than edge , drafting a rb at 7 is worse than edge etc etc etc

for example Jachai Polite is a stud pass rusher who is probably there at 7. You think rb is a bigger need there?

I'm not sure you know what you're talking about here tbh Eric.
