As for the Colvin vibes, totally different imo. Colvin was a 31-yr old pass rusher who wasn't consistently healthy. I think June, who's more of an asset in pass coverage, ought to be able to make some plays... just not in the backfield. I like the veteran depth so long as they have the guys they need on special teams.

I actually asked Frank Bush about our situation at SAM. I asked him if he thought Diles was better suited to play WILL and what is thoughts were about Chaun Thompson, who I think is a better fit for SAM. He gave a pretty pat answer about the team being excited to have Thompson compete at SAM this year healthy. However, it seemed clear, he did not agree that Diles was better suited to compete at WILL and seemed satisfied with Diles potentially playing SAM again this year.

If they see Diles at SAM, I think CThompson and then Bentley give us reasonable depth there. I, for one, would love to see Clint Sintim fall to us in the second round. If that were to happen (or someone else of that ilk), I'd hope we'd take a stab at him. However, I don't think they feel compelled to simply add depth to the spot at this point.
