No, I'd rather throw in a rookie or wait and see what other DT gets released. I was hoping we had seen Youngs last season here. I don't see him doing anything special in 08'
You will see too...
You are aware that by signing Young we aren't barred from signing or drafting another DT right?
You need 3-4 DT's to rotate in order to keep your line fresh and a great pass rushing tackle like Young has alot of value. And we also don't get to magically get a rookie DT to "throw in"...we don't draft for need (for good reason) so if a DT isn't BPA in the earlier rounds we might not get one. So then what? Young at the least will provide a great player for the rotation. If things don't work out with the draft you then have him as insurance to play as a fulltime starter. Either way, you need alot of bodies to compete in camp. For all we know Thomas/Clancy could be cut.
