With how much talent we have up front drafting a talented DT that will be on IR all season in the 6th round is a good idea. He will get to sit and learn with the best. It is basically trading a late 6th for a next year pick. But the bonus is that he will already be here for a year. We have a lot of DL leaving after the year. Just one less spot they have to worry about
Reminds me a bit of Kentavius Street injury situation. It took him (I think) longer than one year to come up, but he did help us out last year in our run for the Lombardi #6. HOpe Kalia can recover much faster than Kentavius and help out sooner. My peeve with Kentavius was that maybe we could have gotten an edge at his position, and he was on injured reserve like forever before he began to contribute. My understanding with Kalia is that he will be able to possibly play this season vs Kentavius who took too long in my opinion.
He'll go on NFI to begin 2022, and hopefully in 2023 he's our starting NT.
