Do we really need to draft ILB?

[texansfan88]

If they go DE it will be Marcus Spears, just trust me on this one

Pollack is too little anyway

I dunno if its *****ic or not.. but I dont think we will draft an NT unless it is OUR guy.. like David Carr and Dunta Robinson and Jason Babin were OUR guys.. and we would have drafted them regardless of who was available. the NT is maybe the most important defensive position in a 3-4 defense.. and because of that, you gotta have that perfect fit. If we get an NT.. I see us grabbing one in the 2nd or 3rd.

Gabriel Watson, Anthony Bryant, and Marcus Jasmin are all possibilities in the 2nd or 3rd round. (we have a thread talking about this over in the college football forum called "so, who is the stud DT")

Ngata is a possibility in the 1st.. if we really like him. Or possibly Shawn Cody, as a 34 DE.

i wasnt aware i suggested otherwise.

are u arguing to bring in undersized defensive linemen who dont fit the 3-4 defense because dunta is fast?

i was an advocate of drafting a defensive back to and never campaigned for wilfork at any time during the draft. if you read my post again carefully i think you'll find no mention of wilfork.......

are you quoting me but arguing with another poster?

mckinney isnt young and has clearly been the problem. wand and pitts have not yet reached their ceiling and will get better. with mckinney, what ya see is what ya get. hes topped out.

try reading my post this time if your going to quote me...or switch to o'douls.

I think we should change our defensive scheme to a 4-3, put babin and Robaire back at their regular pos. and draft Derrick Johnson to play OLB. That would be sooo nice!!!

that would be a bad idea on so many levels.
