Same premise. Feel free to put your own thoughts about this position group going into OTA's.
Incumbents:
Dontari Poe
Jaye Howard
Allen Bailey
Nick Williams
Rakeem Nunez-Roches
Draftees:
2nd: Chris Jones
UFA's/Non-Vets:
David King
Alameda Tu'amu
Niko Davis
Jimmy Staten
Pretty decent front line. Big reason the run D rated as well as it did (11th Outsiders and 3rd PFF) after several years of frustrating run defenses. Chris Jones replaces DeVito essentially in the rotation barring a big surprise from someone like Nick Williams. We should see plenty of Chris Jones to keep this group fresh if his purported versatility translate to the NFL. By the end of the year, I think we'll have a pretty good idea how big of a need a NT/DL will be in the 2017 draft with Chris Jones' play. My hunch is they are angling towards letting Poe chase Dareus money elsewhere, but we'll see. Probably will need to generate most of the passrush for at least the first several games until Houston is back.
