It seems like top DTs have rarely worked out in recent years. Most of the DTs picked in the top ten over the past decade have flopped so that certainly seems like a risky way to go for a team worried about wasting more cap space on draft picks. 2.) I still don't understand why a team in the lion's position doesn't just let the draft timer run out during their pick. If they just don't draft anyone and let their pick slip to 6 or 7 where the guaranteed money is much less, they would both be saving money and would most likely force a change to a slotting system that would benefit all teams in the future. The NFL will be embarrassed by this and have to do something different. 1.) It seems like top DTs have rarely worked out in recent years.
