I mean going by your standards, they got at least three at defensive end. At DT its Buckner, Armstead will be gone in a year and he is really more of a big end anyways and then you have Thomas who has been a big disappointment thus far. The rest is meh.
What standard?
You could argue AA/Day/Jones/Buck/Thomas could all be starters on other teams at DT. We haven't even see Streets, who you might as well add in to this rookie class.
You can't say that about any other edge on this team outside of Ford is starter worthy.
As far as AA/ST, all I care about is sub...don't care if either play BE in base.
Never in a million yrs will you convince me that our current edge rushers are remotely close to what we have at DT.
If you want to say Q is just so damn dominant that it doesn't matter who's on our team then fine, don't try to tell me edge isn't a much bigger need though.
