I do, yes.
We do need a WLB, but I think DL is a much bigger need. The main thing we need is a space eater. Someone who can take on 2 guys in the middle and let Jordan do his thing 1 on 1. Sounds like a guy like Ngata, who is probably the best FA DT this year. I see the team extending Drew, cutting Colston and Hawthorne and restructuring some older guys like Jahri (maybe) or Strief. Free up ~20m, sign Ngata and a few depth guys. Then address WR and DE, our two other biggest needs in the draft.
I think Ellerbe is good enough for WLB, but he just can't stay healthy. The team would probably rather take their chances with that and address other positions rather than sign a WLB and end up with an extra LB but still no push up front.

I'm not saying I know anything, but I have heard Kikaha is a situational pass rusher not a 3 down Linebacker. Haloti Ngata is 32 years old, I would not like the signing unless the price is right. I would rather us grab DT Jarran Reed or DE Shaq Lawson if available in the 2nd and in the 1st round I'd like to see us grab either LB(Jaylon Smith/Reggie Ragland.) Ellerbe was on the sidelines too much this season. Yes, we will have PJ Williams, Davis Tull, and Raphael Bush back from the IR. 3rd round either the TE Hunter Henry or OT/OG Denver Kirkland. I know a lot of people here want Treadwell but remember our D was horrible this season and Drew Brees makes WR's when he has time in the pocket.
