No way JHD is worth 1.5 wins.
The only guy even close to that is JT5
Give me a reason why not. Our other DTs are Gotsis, Kallon, Henderson, and Glanton. So two of the 4 are true frosh, Kallon hasn't proven he can play meaningful snaps in 3 years on the team, and Gotsis who plays well for a SDE having to play inside. Our options are so limited that we'd likely have to force another SDE inside to start with Gotsis.
Enter a DT who (by all accounts) would be the best option at DT on the team if eligible. Have you not watched this team the last 6 seasons? Do you not understand how desperately we've been missing an presence on the interior DL to dictate play. The only thing keeping CPJ from consistent 9+ win seasons has been horrible DL recruiting/retention/development/luck. The addition of Hunt makes this DL formidable for the first time since '08. Couple that with JT5 and we've got something.
And I still say losing Tuitt cost us 1/1.5 wins per season for the years we would have had him. Our DLs have been bad enough that the addition of one stud can make a huge impact.
