Maybe it's our turn to overpay a player next year, if we will have a bad season.
Obviously, I'd liked some help at the D-line. Everyone along that line is pretty much a big question mark at this point, except for Cullen Jenkins.
I know we our D-line isn't meant to get alot of pressure, but Jolly and Pickett could hardly do anything against opposing guards and centers last year. This year, at least one of them is supposed to pick up two guys nearly every time. I see Jenkins working out great, he has great size, weight and rushing ability. If not for his body, he'll need double coverage just for his ability to get to the QB.
Lets put it like this, I really hope we'll sign at least one proven DE... and I'm really not that sold on Pickett either.
That said, I think we have some projects along the D-line. Two guys who where on the practice squad last season can be solid contributors, I guess. But still, question marks all over.
The big thing that people tend to forget though, is that we can't just go out and sign people. We're switching defenses, so Capers, McCarthy and Ted Thompson have to find out how our players will fit in that scheme and how they'll do. For all we know, Justin is looking great and Malone is the next coming at DE/DT.
