Why not a DT over rush OLB w/ 1st pick?

It seems that the majority of this board wants an OLB, but I still say a pot belly first. I've always admitted to being a dummass on this board, but this one is obvious. LOS first. Keep in mind that we have not heard a peep from Aldon Smith since Justin Smith got hurt. Am I wrong again?

Given that Justin Smith is a 3-4 DE, yes.

Bc I'm a huge fan of OLB in the first and someone like Gaethers in the third. I think Bunkley is our middle man right now but Gaethers would be a great spell guy or hell, he might even be better.
You don't get a pass rusher in the third round that's worth anything but you could still get a NT who does

Jordan, Bunckley & Hicks on the DL > Lofton, Vilma, Chamberlain & Wilson at LB
We need to put pressure on the QB. Plain and simple, that's been our weakness for a few years now. Draft Jordan or Mingo to make a Demarcus Ware impact and our defense does something we couldn't do before and improves dramatically. Plus, as said earlier, there isn't a NT or DE worth the #15 pick.

The bust to star ratio of DT's (especially NT where there is no spotlight)in the first just seems really high. I think that the DT position in the NFL is so much about effort and desire, that it's never a good idea to draft high. Those are two things you can't measure at the combine. Better to wait and get a guy on his second contract IMO.

Pressure makes everything better. Getting pressure makes our secondary look better. The easiest and quickest way to improve our defense is to get pressure on the QB. I'd rather have a serviceable NT with two OLB's that live in the backfield.
