I strongly agree.
We need at least one DE for the rotation. We also need an upgrade to Carter, a competitor to Buchanan.
This is one of our top needs, along with TE (in addition to re-signing or replacing our own).

Jones and Ninkovich played too many snaps during the regular season (98.1% and 95.6%, respectively). It helped with all the instability at the DT position, but ultimately they wore down. Chris Jones probably played too many snaps, too - he was explosive when he first came on, but after playing an enormous number of snaps once Wilfork and Kelly went on IR he slowed down quite a bit.
You need to have waves to guys you can rotate in to keep people fresh - "pass rush by committee".
