Smart Move. I like it, Low Risk with High Reward

How is DT a need, when you have 3 quality DT's that showed they could play, and Anthony Montgomery, and Kedric Golston are both just 24, we are set for the future at DT.

I agree... but we do need a 3 technique DT than can be put in their to help collapse the pocket. Monty and Golston are great at stopping the run, but we need to have someone in place behind Griffin,Daniels, and We let go of Wynn b/c of age last year.

We have a great pass rusher in Carter coming off one edge, and we also need to look at gettin a stud opposite carter that's not a prototype of himself.

I think if you apply the same argument that having young players means you don't need to upgrade the position, then you can make the argument that we have no holes and should be ready for an SB run. Don't need receiver, we have Mix, don't need corner, we have Torrance, don't need MLB, we have Blades, don't need End, we have Buzbee and Wilson...you get the picture.

I think if you count on the combination of Montgomery and Golston to fill one of the DT spots over the next two years, you probably aren't going to be disappointed, but assuming that we can get by with them as a tandem for the next 5 years...be prepared for some bad defense.

Suppose if one of them got hurt? *knocks on wood* but it happens, if one of them got hurt.. Then we would need someone else to replace the injured DT - since Askew was projected for 1st rd.. I guess we can give him a chance and see what happens..

We have Ryan Boschetti, and if we really need a DT, we could put Lorenzo Alexander in there.
