On top of that, the supply & demand of DTs far exceeds that of top shelf DEs. You take the DE everyday & twice on Sunday if he's elite.

The only time that I would even consider taking a DT above a DE is if that DT has legit pass rushing ability like Chris Jones. With a Chris Jones type, you're still getting the pass rush that needed to stop today's offenses
Chris jones was not even close to a top 3 pick in the draft and you bring him up. Think about what a DT would have to do to be a top 3 pick and tell me you wouldn't want that guy over a DE like Chase Young that disappeared in the biggest games of the year.

I get a top 3 pick DT and a top 3 pick QB? I am in the mix for a title if the rest are given us a fighting chance. Hell, I might even take a top 3 RB over a QB because those guys aren't even getting drafted in the first round. Imagine what a RB would have to do these days to be a top 3 pick. That guy might when us a title by him freaking self.
