Re: 2011 NFL Draft
The need for a DE who plays in the scheme, but is also a functional pass rusher is paramount in this defense. Love Adam Carriker, but he's pretty useless going one on one against the other team's RT.
I figured that Haynesworth would be the best RDE on the roster, but he's never lined up there in a game and we continue to play Golston who simply can't execute the position.
Ma'ake Kemoeatu isn't an ideal nose tackle, but hes under contract for next year, and he plays well -- in spurts. We should look at some nose tackles in the draft, but depth can be had in free agency easily. We just have a gaping hole in the defense at RDE that must be fixed if the right player is available.
Maybe Jarmon can take that role in the defense when he's healthy. He's certainly has the functional pass rushing skills we need, but we need him to be at least a two down 5-technique DE...or draft someone who can be.
