Still, I expect Ballard to add another DL and DE high in the draft. If you can't get a pass rush with 4 1st/2nd round picks on the DL, then is the problem a lack of commitment of resources to the problem?

I’m all for drafting a DE but depending on a rookie for pass rush usually doesn’t work out well. We needed someone to help bridge the gap. With a rotation that shouldn’t be a problem. Plus we are now driven by need instead of bpa. Luckily this draft matches our needs.

I hope the second year guys develop bc it looks like they will be it and a lower tier FA.
