Pff I belived rated him both a D and F interesting. Bleacher report have Devon 36th, Phillips 56th, Spence 63 , Taylor 76, Suh 9th for comparison.
Now this is a conditional pick so I look at it as insurance where if we can get a better pickup then he walks and we get the pick back, seeing as we are in dire straits not a bad move. That our DL coach knows him it'sa plus too. Thats the plus side.
The down side is we create holes and send picks to fill them, which have higher contracts which blows up the salary cap down the road. Kind of tired of these repeated moves and after seeing Devon taken in the 5th rated 36th and Taylor rated in the 70s taken in the 6th its debatable that a 7th round pick in 2 years would not play as well as Spense plus be cheaper. BUT seeing as we are in dire straits at DT, plus the positives mentioned I am in favor of this move for now. I certainly hope we look for some better answers in FA. My guess also that our staff probably considered this a possibility before the draft thus perhaps why they did not make a move in the 3rd day of the draft.
