Not a single defensive lineman in this draft seems to be an elite player. There are a couple that come close but none of them are in the "can't miss" status like Landry.

But there is no such thing as a can't miss dlineman. They bust out 50 percent of the time. Still, at some point you have to roll the dice and try and bring a stud in. Teams are doing such a good job of keeping their best de's and tackles off the market, it's not really possible anymore to get much more than an adequate dline through free agency. We overachieved for 2 seasons with Griffin and some bums before finally being exposed last year. I just don't think we can let this go any longer.
Also, since when was a prodigious 19 year old with unlimited potential and a great work ethic and attitude not elite? I'd call that once in a lifetime.
