Has Piles drafted a single edge rusher in 4 years? I don’t want these old bums just draft the position please.

Robinson, Booker. I think that's it, although Turner will probably get snaps there too. Dennis Allen seems really value versatility, but I am still worried that they lack a guy who can win quickly off the edge.

Poles has been pretty neglectful of the second most important position in football.

Yea I still feel like Turner may have been drafted to play DE as well, if not full time. They have a lot more of a logjam at DT right now, particularly if Dayo is also taking snaps there.

Cam Jordan was 6'4 287 so its not like DA hasnt had a similar size DE in his system. Right now their DE rotation is booker playing a lot and he was not very great last year. His pressure rate was terrible and he was one of the worst edges in the league against the run. I like the upside but I'm not sure he ever develops into a guy.
