DT signed, now what?

It appears the D-line and RB are set for 2004 mostly.
Now we address CB and LB.
Assuming we donÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â„Â¢t bring in a quality FA LB or CBÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã‚Â¦

I think its possible to head into 2004 with Ambrose, Thomas, Carter (if he re-signs for less money) and draft a stud with pick 1 or 2A. If Carter does re-sign it gives us some more flexibility to pick the best LB/CB available at #1.

What would you do?
Take a day 1 starter at LB (DJ Williams, Vilma or Dansby) and a CB that may need half a season to develop?
Or
Take a CB that can start right away and draft a LB who may need half a season to develop like a Donterrius Thomas or one of those Ga. Tech guys etcÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã‚Â¦)?

Best case is that the LB and CB we pick can both be day 1 starters, but thatÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â„Â¢s kinda overly optimistic. Or maybe not?
