The 4 teams left in the playoffs also have defenses that can sack the qb and not give up 200ypg rushing to 2nd stringers. We need to fix the D!

Staying with 34 defense multiple look front means playing a lot of over/under our biggest needs round 1 RDE the next BRUCE would be great but i would settle for another Wiley round 2 DT we need a 35Olb space eater (move Kyle Williams to LE to small for nose his play reminds me of Phil Hansen) round 3 RT round 4a ILB we don't have any round 4B ILB round 5 OLB depth behind moats merriman round 6 CB round 7 SS

In the NFL if a drafted player does not sign their rookie contract before the next years draft they are re-entered into the draft, the same rule as a hold-out, so its a wasted pick. Also signing the contract would involve getting an agent and receiving pay which would make the player ineligible to play in college.

I would try to trade down with Tennessee at 8. Our r1 #3 for their r1 #8, r2 #39, and either r3 #77 this year or a 2nd next year. With them moving VY they will be looking to draft a qb. Hopefully we would get Darius who falls to us at r1 #8.

I wouldn't take Newton with the 3rd pick of the 1st round, or anywhere in the first round for that matter. He should have went back for his senior year a Auburn (only attempted 12 passes before this season).

The best case scenario DW takes the job as asst. head coach defense tutoring GE for a season or too, and most importantly is up in the coaches box on gameday to advise both Edwards and Gailey. Which is what LeBeau did with Perry Fewell. That way in a year or two when DW takes a new position somewhere else we won't have to start over again with a new Defensive Coordinator and scheme.
