If it is so obvious, then why were you wringing your hands about DL depth in the post I responded to?

Depth is fine at BOTH positions, and not cause for alarm.  If we suffer an injury at DT [not "DL" as you framed it], that might change.  You're acting as though the injury has already occurred, and depth there is a problem.  Today, it isn't.

I don't underestimate anything with respect to injuries -- that's why having a rotation is important, not only to keep guys fresh during games, but also to prevent the higher risk of injuries stemming from guys having to play fatigued.  Having an 8 player rotation at DL--with four guys rotating at BOTH DT and DE--is a more than adequate rotation, especially when you factor in some players might be able to play both outside AND inside on clear passing downs.

And reinforcements are on the way.  We loaded up on defensive linemen in the class of 2019.  Hopefully, the majority of these guys will be able to redshirt, but we have a couple of guys who appear capable of seeing the field earlier if DT depth becomes an issue [or if they are too good to keep out of the rotation].

FWIW, Dawson / Munoz had impressive offers, and Rondi has been described as a Christian Ferrara clone.

Cooper Dawson                     DT             6-5     250
Joe Rondi                               DT             6-4     250
Jason Munoz                          DT             6-4     270
Andrew Tuazma                     DE             6-6     235
Steven Linton                         DE             6-5     215
Ishmael Goulbourne              DE             6-3     200

And an intriguing walk on prospect...
