Best of luck to Mr DeVito; very good football player.
And yes, this might lend more credence to the selection of a DL with our first pick. |

I'm not saying I'm opposed to going DL in round 1 but how in any way does this make it more likely?
The dude was playing like 15 snaps a game last year. We have 2 interior DL on the field for most of the game, and we have 3 capable, proven studs. It's not any more of a need because of Devito retiring. |

And he wasn't exactly playing a skilled game out there when he was in - he was a comically strong run-stuffer. Williams and Nunez-Roches have the body to be able to do that and with some time in the system they appear to have made some strides mentally as well. There's no reason that one or both of those guys couldn't fill the rotational lineman role that DeVito filled. It's like saying that losing Jeff Allen means we need to take Whitehair in the first round. Well sure, it may change up the calculus a bit but not immeasurably. There are still larger needs and almost certainly better value picks that will be there for us at 28; no need to reach for a backup DE.

In a deep draft for a position, why would you take a guy in the first round, especially when there is zero need for it in your starting lineup for at least the next two seasons?

Losing that 3rd is what hurts, we need it back We need CB,WR,DL,LB,OL depth and without the 3rd is difficult to fill all our needs.
