re: Bigger need: NT or OLB?

NT
I will just copy and paste what I just typed on the other OLB thread.
The misconception is that the rush OLB is the most important position for a 3-4. This isn't true. NT is THE critical position, because he dictates the LOS and creates all the opportunities for the LB's.
As it stands, we don't have this guy. Maybe there's someone on our roster that fits this, but highly doubtful.
Here's how I see it. We target Casey Hampton and draft a groomer for the position. Hampton is old and not the same player, but he's good enough to make it work. Tez and Juniah I think will actually thrive in a 3-4, so I'm not worried about OLB. I see Jordan and Hicks working well at DE. The other issues are at our 2nd ILB and corners. Remember, most 3-4 schemes are actually zones, and we all know our CB's haven't done well in those coverages.
I list our priorities as follows:
NT
CB
ILB
S
OLB
So who has a list of NT free agents and draft prospects?
