It all depends on DA an his attacking defense scheme. To make it all click on that side of the line you need a solid all around SLB backing the DE up.

a linebacker based on his closing speed, power through contact and athleticism
T.J. Watt OLB Wisconsin 6’5” 245 lbs
Might be a better DE than OLB

Ryan Anderson OLB Alabama 6021 253 4.67 #22 rJr
Tyus Bowser, OLB, Houston 6021 240 4.67 #81 Sr

Jimmy Gilbert OLB Colorado 6036 225 4.74 #98 Sr
He is one of my favs late in the draft. lead the nation in sacks before injury and he is Raw

Langi Harvey ILB/SLB/FB BYU 6015 252 4.77 #21 rSr
Does not get the respect he deserves. another solid raw prospect

I like Watt, really like him alot; but we've got holes on that defensive line that have got to be addressed first; and before that, at right guard...

Free agency is gonna be real interesting...Trades? Probably coming...

I stick by my post on previous thread and again refer to the only guys with value are...

OT Armstead/Peat - we've got two legitimate left tackles, somethings gotta give and Peat still has a couple of years on his rookie contract and Armstead has an attractive contract for a LT...

WR Cooks...would hate to see this as I love the complement of our WR corps, plus the fact we've got a first and third invested; it would be a real big mistake. But there's a little doubt in the back of my mind after that public airing of grievance re:touches...

LB Kikaha/Anthony...Anthony is a terrific athlete and really believe he can be a great Mike with Coach Nolan coming on board; just don't see Kikaha being a fit for what D.A. is trying to do as Hau'oli is a liability in coverage and too small to hold the edge at DE...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
