For everyone questioning why we need another DT on this roster, this pick makes complete sense to me.
a.) Adams and Williams are both old and nearing end of contracts, and while the backups we have provide good depth, none of them are good enough to develop into starters.
b.) The other 3 reasons: Ricky Williams, Corey Dillon, Curtis Martin. We need a DT to spell Adams and Williams who can step in and stop these guys.
True, there were more immediate needs on OL, as some old sayings go: but defense wins championships, and you can ever have enough d-lineman.
I think the pick was smart, and if we can't stop Dillon, Williams, and Martin while Williams and Adams are out of the game, we will have a hard time winning this year. I think Andersen will have an immediate impact and should provide this type of play.
