DL needs depth

OLB needs to be stout against the run and solid in pass coverage.

Thats why I want a DT in the 1st. Look at the depth we would have then and with Bunkleys contract up next year the DT line would remain stout. In my mind it's like why not take a pick this year to prevent next years needs.Jordan will command money next season if he keeps playing well. As far as OLB, we should bring in good comp. for them all it's the ILB's I'm having serios douts about. As well as Lofton and Hawthorn played this year, Seattle ate Hawthorn up and made him look like they knew when to let him go and Lofton can't cover anyone. I personally would like to see 2 nasty thumpers in the middle that would make the quick slant recievers and rb.'s pay a toll when they entered their territory and inflict pain when they did.
