I agree with you that D-Line is the most important spot for us right now. Loads of talent on offense. Having the dominant D, it's hard to go wrong.I'd trade getting Gustin if it means only closing with him. Arnette would be nice but we have more than enough Secondary help, and Hill would be nice but again it may be another 2 years before he can see the field. Gustin, on the other hand is really important. We need another freak Defensive lineman and while I like Landers and Tremont I don't feel like we've landed a IMPACT defensive lineman in the last two years. We saw Spence, Washington, Schutt, Bosa, and to a extent Marcus in the first few years and while players like Holmes will certainly have their time to shine soon I personally feel Gustin is closer to Bosa than he is to Holmes.
Especially with the prospects of losing Bosa, Washington, and Schutt next year we will need someone like Gustin to ensure the drop off after next year isn't a costly one. Especially with the prospects of the other Bosa coming on board after next year as well we will need someone to take up Bosa's mantle until Nick is ready to resume destruction.
Beckner would be sweet, But I believe we have a much better shot at landing Gustin.
