Things are shaping up outside but the interior of both lines needs a boost.
While I'd love an impact DT I'm not getting my hopes up. Currently we have our day 1 starters back from last year (Wilfork / Kelly) plus reserves who produced when they had to start (Jones / Siliga) plus a prospect (Armstead) under contract. Frankly DT is a luxury at this point.
DE and interior OL are much bigger needs.
Hageman also. That's why I like those two, they're almost Seymour clones in terms of size and can play anywhere. However none of them give the pure pass rush that would be nice from a 4-3 DE.Armstead is a perfect fit for a multiple defense: 3-4 end, 4-3 end, 4-3 tackle. Tuitt would be a good fit because he offers the same as Armstead in terms of flexibility.
Right now, my top interior OL players are Brandon Thomas, Joel Bitonio and Marcus Martin, with Trai Turner as my top day 3 pick.
