[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 541774, member: 9033"] Man, people give up on draft picks WAAAYYYY to fast. Perry has played two years. When he's been healthy (that's been his biggest issue) he's actually looked like a pretty good rusher. Now, he has made some really stupid plays (two come to mind last season) but he's still young and learning. Keep in mind that LeBeau and Capers have both said that they don't like to play young players for the very reason that Perry illustrates, it takes time to get the defense down. Give Perry another year to put in an entire year of work and, hopefully, stay healthy. I've actually mentioned before the idea of drafting Ford but not because I think Perry can't be a good OLB but mainly because we have two OLBs on the roster that can't play an entire season. OLB is the most important position in the 3-4 so having an extra guy in there wouldn't be a negative. You could still play all three in base downs (Perry might actually make a pretty decent ILB) and then on passing downs you could shift Perry to dline and have a pass rushing unit featuring Jones, Perry, Ford, CM3 and maybe Worthy if he improves. That would be a fairly punishing defensive unit. [/QUOTE]
