I've let myself become too fascinated with all of the highly talented players in the draft.

What I mean is: " I think about how one of the CBs might fall in our lap.". Or some other player at another position.

But the fact of the matter is, I think the only way the draft is truly going to upgrade our defense if is we draft a LB or a DT. And as strange as it might sound ... We might actually be weaker at DT than LB. Drafting a DT would not hurt my feelings at all.

I'll take a DT over a CB any day of the week!!

Drafting a CB in the 1st round would be very very foolish IMO. And I don't care if the best CB drops to us at #16.

Unless that CB can stop the run, then I'll pass.

Oh, yeah ... I know, we can always pick up a LB in the 2nd round.

Yeah, well .... according to most of the experts, all the LBs in the 2nd are not expected to be probowl caliber LBs.

IMHO ... We need a "play-maker" at LB. We need that one guy who can make a game-changing play.

Are all the years of watching sub-standard play at LB starting to affect my decision making? You bet!!

And I hope it's affecting Loomis and Haslett too!!!

I'd rather come out of this draft with the highest rated LB rather than 5 guys who might make an impact.

I'm tired or hoping one of our LBs step-up.

Maybe it is an over-reaction. But, at this point ... I'd rather over-react than under-react.
