with that said, he still has some potential , but we probably wont see him develop a mean streak until next season ...if he does at all ...but by then we might spend a high draft pick on a NT/ DE that can hit the ground running

Yea it's really hard to gauge the position this year with Williams and Dorsey hurt this year. And Dorsey was brought in toe be a DE rather than the NT. You have Cowboy and Raymac aging. And we have no clue what Carradine can do. I'd lean towards drafting a guy that could possibly push somebody to the bench. I think Dial can be a good DE but I agree he just doesn't have the nastiness to play NT. Kinda like biegn a fullback you need a certain mindset for the position.

When has Martin ever been good in the pros?

I think the obvious move is bump Boone to RT, and put in anyone but Martin at RG. Bench martin.
