I'm not in favor of foregoing a potential starter for depth players with no guarentee they will even make the team. Right now, we need a sure thing, someone who can step in and play now because there won't be a lot of new-comers making this team.

I agree. We are in prime position to get a guy who will eventually come the face of our defense, and trading that away would not be smart.
People are suggesting that we take a shot at fixing all of our defensive problems in one year. Well, we are No. 32 in defense, so that's just not going to happen. We can rebuild this team by getting QUALITY defensive lineman who are short on weaknesses. There's only a handful of such players in the draft and 6 is a good spot to get one.
