I WANT JEVON HARGRAVE. Badly. Extend Jones and pay Hargrave Clark's money. To note, no I don't see Philly using the tag on him.
Give me a speed rusher opposite Karlaftis and I'll be dancing a jig. I really like Derick Hall as a guy that probably won't be a 1st round player.
I see this as the best way to truly enhance the pass rush immediately. You can't double two DTs and either will make you pay dearly.

Hargrave is just such a one-trick pony. And he really has been his entire career so it's not something I'm willing to chalk up to scheme.
The guy just doesn't give a **** about run defense and that's an awfully hard thing to stomach at DT, especially when ideally you want to keep Jones more free to attack so you need a pretty responsible complement to him.
Don't get me wrong, I'll happily weight interior pass rush over run-stopping ability at DT2, but I don't think you can put a guy there who's just actively AWFUL against the run.
Could I talk you into Dalvin Tomlinson instead? He's a credible interior pass rusher who's actually sound against the run. If he costs a similar amount as Hargrave, I think that's the direction I'd go. And probably see if Andrew Billings can be had on another short-term deal for minimal outlay to replace Nnadi.
