That may be true, but the big point is that we won't be able to play both Adams and Carter if we get them. One is fine, and gives us a solid pass rushing threat. In three years, Adams will probably be better than Carter, but theres just little value in such a move for our team in a time when getting all the value we can out of this pick is crucial.

On top of that, I think it was not only DT 2, but DT 1 and both ends. We just werent any good on the defensive line last year. I think we would have been much lower than 22 vs the run had we not had a secondary that thwarted all plays to the outside.
