Oh, I don't expect them to take a RB in the 2nd round. When's the last time that happened? I still want the best RB available next pick.
Need an edge rusher. We’re incredibly thin behind the top two, and they become even harder to get in later rounds. Any good ones left?
This is my thought too. They generally have not valued the DT position enough to invest capital. This tells me they truly think his ability to stop the run alone is special, and it's hard to argue against that. He pretty much grades out as best interior run stopper in the last decade. Lots of 2nd/3rd and longs incoming.
