Rayburn is actually a pretty solid player against the run, I don't think it would be a terrible move.

The downside of adding him means he would either cut into the playing time and development of Golston and Montgomery, or just flat out cause one of them to get the axe. I doubt we'll keep 5 DTs, especially with Wynn capable of rotating down to DT. So adding Rayburn would mean we cut either Montgomery, Golston, or Salave'a. Griffin's obviously safe.

Rayburn's not an upgrade as a run stopper over a healthy Salave'a. And GW seems to like Montgomery and Golston. I don't like Golston's size very much, but I don't know if I'd take Rayburn over him because Rayburn just doesn't offer enough of an upgrade to make cutting a young guy worthwhile.

If something happens to Salave'a healthwise, which is very possible, then Rayburn would be an excellent idea.

Good thread.
