I doubt we will go after a DE or D-lineman in the draft. It will have to be in free agency. The pressure to produce wins next year will be tremendous, and given the learning curve for a rookie D-lineman/pass rusher, they can't simply step in and produce immediately. Not to mention, most of the drafted rookie linemen/ends end up injured in their rookie year (a la Kenechi Udeze).

The Abraham for Ramsey deal looks imminent at the end of the season.
