[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 535497"] Watt, certainly. I don't think even Capers could keep that light under a basket. I'd take Pat Willis except for age...so Kuechly gets the nod being 6 years younger. I'd have a hard time devoting such a pick to safety no matter how bad we need one. Some guys you did not mention: Megatron is the elephant in the corner in this discussion. While we don't need a WR, at least for the next 12 months, it would be hard to pass up that kind of talent with several prime years left. So, Von Miller smoked a little dope and got caught...three times it would appear. I don't think that would deter me. It's the ACL that knocks Miller off the top of my list. I like Calais Campbell quite a bit both as a player and as a fit in this D, though Watt gets the nod. Campbell is, and has been for a couple of years, the best defensive player nobody ever talks about. For a third 3-4 DE, Muhammad Wilkerson would be worth a hard look. Breakout year; only 24 yrs old. I'm probably in the minority, but I don't necessarily believe the answer to a more stout pass rush is a "bookend". 2010 looked pretty good with Walden/Zombo (the Combo) when they were complemented by Raji when he was worth a d*mn and Cullen Jenkins having a very solid 3-down season. With Raji (FA, dead weight) Pickett (age, knee) and Jolly (neck) having question marks, I think you have to look hard at the DL (which should be a draft priority) despite the fact we need to be better and more physical up the middle (ILB, SS). Last year at this time I had Shady McCoy, not AP, on a similar list, for his dual threat capability. That appears vindicated, though with Lacy it's not a need position. I continue to maintain the opinion that McCoy is the premier tailback going into next season. I'd also want to take a hard look at some young LTs though one name does not immediately leap to mind. We're thankful for Bhaktiari as a solution to the "human sieve" problem (Newhouse), but unlike most here I don't see him as a long term solution. A young stud at LT and Bulaga back at RT would jack this offense back to 2011 proficiency or beyond. [/QUOTE]
