    Yeah I would be totally cool with that. If we can get another OLB with all our money in Free Agency, it would be nice to save that #33 pick for the best available WR or CB.

    The only problem with that is you still don't have a great pass Rush on 3rd and 10

    Well Casey would be good and one would hope that our 2-3 new olb would make an impact

    And that is part of my reservation with drafting Williams.

    I think you would see us shift Casey to NT and bring in a Klug like player to be DE.

    Other option is to just go to a 4 man front with Williams and Casey at DT and Morgan and Orchard as our DEs. Williams and Casey could be a devastating duo gaming things up inside.

    Quick pressure up the gut can be just as disruptive as pressure from the edge.

    Ideally, you can rush 4 guys and get pressure even without scheming them. Then you have a pass rush!!! One would HOPE that if we signed Houston at OLB, took Williams at #2, we could put up a 4 man rush of LW and Casey in the middle with Houston and Klug on the outside. The problem is, if your best pass rushing outside player is Derrick Morgan, they will block one on one outside and pinch the line and double Casey and LW.

    That would be perfect except I would want to upgrade the 2 OLB spots. Would love to see that DL, though.

    Greg Hardy is from Tennesee and is done with the Panthers... I know hes (potentially) a scumbag but I wouldn't mind having him as an OLB.

    i would be happy to have Hardy if it's cheap, he can't expect to get a lot of money.

    Personally I'd like to see us push hard for Tamba Hali if he becomes available and try and get Brain Orakpo on a one year deal to reestablish his value. The reason being is that I think Derrick Morgan is gone and that leaves us with no edge rushers besides Kamerion Wimbley under contract which just cannot happen.

    Rookie pass rushers have a tendency to take a few years to develop and Hali/Orakpo would give us an upgrade pass rush short term while we wait for our draft pick to season.
