We need to use the pick on a playermaker who will play close to 100 percent of snaps. At least one of Derwin James, Tremaine Edmunds, Roquan Smith, or Minkah Fitzpatrick will be there at 13. I’ll be extremely disappointed if we don’t take one of them.

Allen got hurt in his fifth game. Of those 5 games the Chiefs gashed us for almost 200 yards and Oakland had 120. So to say we had a very good run defense before he got hurt is just not true at all.
Furthermore when you got a guy like Vea eating up the middle of an offensive line is going to allow for the rest of the front 7 to better get to the passer. Since when is a NT’s number one job to rush the passer and there is no way he would play 50% of downs.
