IMO, our defense is always gonna give up pts bc of the style of offense we play so I really think we need to find a playmaker who can force the much needed TOs.

Sharper showed how important he was during our SB run just bc he had a knack to force TOs. We need someone with that sort of skill set.

I will always believe that the first thing we need to get is a beer belly in the middle. That will help the DEs with the pass rush that we all want so badly.

We need somebody like Stevie Brown from NYG.

Badger. I'm officially all aboard the badger train. If he brings even 10% of what Sharper gave us, that's huge

I agree. I think we need a dominant pass rusher. Look at the cowboys game. Even when we are up by 14 points, we allow the other team to quickly get back in the game because we can't put any pressure on the QB. That's why I wouldn't mind a guy like Mingo in the draft. Not an every down player, but a guy you can put at LBer/DE and just let him put pressure on the QB. A la Dwight Freeny, Demarcus Ware or Terrell Suggs.

I would really like us select Matt Elam of FLA. every time I watch Florida play the kid is all over the field. Can cover, intercept, and tackle with authority. Really is a playmaker and has what it takes to pump up the D.

If we're keeping Spags and you want a play maker, I say they should go for Margus Hunt. JPP type of freak athlete. Of course, there are some other good DE's out there as well, but this guy Hunt could be a pure beast.

As far as TM, if he was available in the 6th round or later (which he won't) then sure go for a guy that will mainly play on ST's and could be put in some nickle packages. He's not a great cover but he is a ball hawk and is explosive.

But NOLA is the WORST place possible for that kid.
