Where should we start? Do we trade Grant and start with a speed rusher off the edge. We just got Ellis is round 1 of 08 draft, but the pocket rarely collapses in the middle. Do we go after a space eating DT? The defensive backfield's talent woes and depth seem to be rectified. We are once again vulnerable to the inside run. Scott Shanle is serviceable at best. Fujita is just a bit better, but not a difference maker. Seriously, what needs to be done for "true" improvement to take place.

You hit all the high notes. Upgrade Grant, DT and OLB.

Ellis is a legit DT who can be a force at times
Smith is a top 5 DE
Vilma is a top flight MLB
Greer and Porter were looking like the best corner duo in the NFL before thier injuries

basically we have elite talent at all three levels of the defense, we just need to build on that.

Well we just screwed ourselves by winning our first 13 ball games. So much for drafting high. Lol!!!! But seriously, those are good points we need to deal with, but not right now. Got a Super Bowl to win.

Both are serviceable but Shanle takes a beaten on this board. Shanle has had 3 straight seasons where he has been better and outperformed Fujita. The last time Fujita outplayed Shanle was the 2006 season. U need to upgrade Fujita before Shanle.
