He's more of a playmaking Derrick Brooks type. He's a good sideline to sideline type player. Damn good one too. But he's not the pass rushing threat DT was.

I think if you want a DT type player, look at Shawn Merriman. He gets to the QB. And he might be in the mix for our first round pick.

if merriman is available at #15 we should take him then go CB with our next pick (so many CB's to choose from in this draft) but if we go CB first who can we get in the second rd as a LB or DE???

DJ is a coverage LB not a passrush LB plus nobody will ever be like DT...there will players almost as good but but not as good but as for the next player almost as good as DT rushing the passer its gonna be Justin Tuck, hes got a nose for the QB and he would fit the falcon position(what DT played) perfectly. For those of you that are not fimiliar with the falcon, its almost like having another D lineman except he lines up farther outside and has to usually depend on getting a good jump on the ball and not getting blocked on his path to the QB.
