123. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Free Agent. LinvalJoseph. player. DT. 3

One of the two interior defensive linemen on this list starts with Linval Joseph. The 33-year-old veteran is regarded as one of the better defensive tackles in the league and he is still currently on the market.

Last season, Joseph recorded 57 tackles, three tackles for loss, two QB hurries, and one sack. While the numbers don’t pop off the page, his 6’4, 330-pound frame does.

He is a good run-stuffer which is something this team has been lacking for the past few seasons. The ‘Boys did just draft a DT in John Ridgeway, but having a veteran in Joseph to learn from will only benefit the rookie. This along with the lack of development in Trysten Hill and the injuries within the DL room would be good reasons to snatch the former second-round pick.
