Brenston Bucker and Hollis Thomas.
Both old guys, but could start for at least two years before giving way to a younger player.
As i've said before, I'd rather they start a vetaran at Dt, instead of a rookie. It's almost too much to ask of a rookie Dt to start and stuff the run when they could be preping for their starting role down the line. DT is too important on defense to take a chance on a rookie. Ngata or Bunkley could be the real deal, but they also could be busts. As insurance, a veteran dt is given the role, and if he fails, perhaps the rookie could surprise and take over. You need to have backup plans at that position.
Anyway, I wonder if Marv is trying to trade for Thomas? Or he could go with Buckner who could fit right in next to Trips.
Russell Davis already got snatched up by Seattle. I can't stand to see the DT pool keep getting thinner and thinner by the moment.
PS
Grady Jackson is not an alternative. He's more of a two gapper, which is not a fit for the defense.
