Walterfootball 2011 3round Mock Draft

Aren't you helping the run defense by drafting a DE? After all a lot of the big runs against our defense come when our DE's fail to contain the cutback lanes or our OLB's aren't quick enough to get to the edge. A DE will improve our run defense a whole lot more than a DT can at this point.

We'd be a whole lot better off by signing a Barry Cofield type DT in FA and drafting a DE. We have a serious age issue at DE, Smith will be 30, Brown will be 32, and Wilkerson will be 30. Considering that's one of the most important positions if not the most important position in a 4-3 defense that's not a good problem to have. We need youth in a bad way.

I can definitely see us making a move for cofield rather than gambling on a rookie NT next year.

as for DE, don't be suprised if we make a play on vernon gholston when he gets released.

gholston would come dirt cheap having played his entire career out of position in a 3-4 scheme.

i also have my sights on sam Acho of Texas

if marvin austin were to fall to round 2-3 because of character issues i would support taking a gamble on that guy. he just reminds me so much of darnell dockett. he can even drop smoothly into zone coverage at times and has the size at 310 that i would look for as a backup 3 tech. he really is a top 15 talent.
