Let Spags find his OLB, DT, and play-making DE.

Round 1 possibilities:
DE/DT Sheldon Richardson Mizzou
OT Taylor Lewan
CB Johnthan Banks 6-2/185 Finally a CB over 6 feet!!!

It's exactly what we need, a taller corner to matchup better with WR's our 5"10 DB's get schooled

And don't mention Sullivan who got picked at 6th overall or the Man-wonder Russell Erxleben picked 11th overall.

Need I remind everyone of picks like Colston, Evans, etc... SP and Loomie seem to excel at unearthng talent, no matter the round.
