I expect the DTs to be MUCH better in next year's draft. This year's draft was miserable, and that pushed up Raji's value. Sorry to say, in any of the last 4-5 drafts he would have been around #15-20. That's the way it goes. Also, DTs don't usually make their mark in their rookie year, so I wouldn't be too hard on him this year. But he's got a very quick get off and he has scheme diverse talents which is why he was rated as high as he was.
The Lions have a particular need at DT so I will probably be watching the college DTs very closely again this year. I think you got the best DT from this draft, though that probably doesn't mean a ton.
