Merged:Leinert, Fergison, Williams or Hawk? whose #2

I think it's dumb to draft a 3rd DE, but I don't mind drafting a new starting DE and dealing Grant, provided we can get value for him.

That's exactly what I'm fearing BMG. If we do end up drafting Mario, even though he's a good player, we're going to be stuck with three DEs, and one of them is going to have to sit. Instead of trading one, we'll pull a Darren Howard and just make him angry and then let him walk while receiving no compensation. I really think that we have so many other holes that we can't afford not to address one of them with our first pick.

Also, another thing that pisses me off is that the national media keeps pointing to our poor pass rush last season as a defense for us drafting another DE in Williams. I wonder if they even know who our DTs or LBs are? The reason why we had such a poor pass rush is because they're OL could double team our DEs while single-teaming our weakass DTs and not even have to worry about our no name LBs because they pretty much were worthless. If we draft a guy like Wroten in the second, or somebody else who is a force to actually be reckoned with, then I think our two very good DEs would be able to have stellar years.
