Welcome aboard, bud. And I agree totally. Each year this team neglects the D-line, and we’ve been lucky that for the past two seasons, a star or two has shined and the line has been stout. Sure, they’ll bring in a moderately successful D-tackle or end like Cornelius Griffin or Andre Carter every other year or so, just to be able to say that they didn’t ignore it. Thankfully, Griffin’s career has magically discovered a rebirth and hopefully Carter’s will do the same. But sooner or later, those positions will require major upgrades and all the Cedric Killings, Ryan Boschettis, and Demetric Evans’ will be there to take up space, but that’s about it. As much as I hate to admit it, I loved what Dallas did with their draft last year with the selections of Demarcus Ware, Marcus Spears and Chris Canty. I’d love for Joe Gibbs and Snyderatto to devote the same kind of attention to the defensive line at some point. But I also understand you have to take the best player available, and if the D-linemen just aren’t there, you can’t overreach for them.

If we can sign up Keith Adams, he may not be a superstar, but to me he’d be enough to make the situation secure at linebacker. Cornerback also appears to be solid with the addition of Kenny Wright. So if a draftable lineman on D is available, I’ll be disappointed if they go elsewhere.
