They are blue-collar guys, and they have done their job for the most part. We did pretty well this year on defense before injuries.
I disagree.
We need guys that can get pressure. Andre Carter has his moments but Daniels, Wilson and any other dlinemen have been non existent on passing downs.

Part of the reason why the skins blown leads is because we go into a cover 2 defense and the offense has all day to throw. If we are going to play safe coverages, we need dlinemen that can get pressure on their own. our guys can't.

Carter has been good with 8 sacks but the other defensive ends combine for 5 total!
Demario williams of the texans has as many sacks as our whole defensive line!

We need to add some young guys to the offensive line who can contribute 2 yearsdown the road. On the Dline, we need guys that can play week one.

the one caveat, It's hard to draft defensive linemen. We have to see who are the best players available.
