Assuming player grades are more or less equal at #23, of course.
I see lots of discussion about cornerback, edge rusher, as our pick in the first round. But nose tackle, not so much... Why is that?
If a suitable nose tackle is there at number 23, is it not possible that that would provide the most bang for our buck? I mean, think about it.
Suitable nose tackle would “finish“ our DL. And wouldn’t it make our linebackers and cornerbacks even more effective?
I think it’s a legit question. Is a near elite NT a bigger help to our D than a near elite LB? At least on run D? Perhaps a bigger boon to our CB’s, too?
Food for thought, anyway. Or is this a chicken vs egg thing?
Probably will come down to who falls, I guess.
Any ideas out there on this?
