It would be nice to get somebody like Clay Matthews in that position. Who is available?

Well Ellis has very little worth in my mind, since he has that 1st rounder contract going on without the productivity to go along with it... it would be a lower round pick or picks at best. Matthews plays LB and Ellis is a 3-tech DT, so it is hard to compare the two... also the fact that the other plays LB in 3-4 system and the other plays DT in a 4-3 doesn't really give an opportunity to make any fair comparisons in my mind.
