Ask Bryan: Deep at defensive end

After the draft and free agency, I'm a little concerned about our defensive ends. We look to be going into OTAs with basically the same players as last year, minus Jared Allen. I'm confused as to why we didn't draft Dodd or Ogbah in the first round. Both had better draft grades than Butler. Since it was one of our weakest positions last year, don't you think we need some new blood? – Dwight in Kannapolis, N.C.

Some share your concern about the defensive end group, but two people who don't are general manager Dave Gettleman and head coach Ron Rivera.
