in my eyes the ends are only as good as the guys playing inside. If our tackles are getting doubled that frees up the end for one on one, or against a TE. Daniels is big and strong and can generate a pass rush one on one, as well as Carter. My most glaring need is for a DT who demands a double. When Grif was at his best two seasons ago down the stretch he demanded doubles and Joe wasn't all that bad. Which led to Daniels having some pretty big games at the end of the season. Plus, if the DT's are taking up space and holding up the guards and center, that frees up the LBs to make more plays against the run. I dont think anyone on our D line was playing up to those standards last year.

DT is definately the way to go. If we can trade down and get a later 1st and 2nd, then we could draft both. The draft is really deep at quality DT's and DE's.
