We can't fix CB with the draft. There are no first year starting caliber CB's in this draft and if there were, we couldn't select them with the 10th pick. If there are no 10th place graded LB's or DT's on the board then by all means stock up on o-linemen. They can start as rookies and be quite good. Our first 4 games were lost by our offense, not defense. We play a man scheme that relies on QB pressure. Having our defense on the field for 40 minutes of the game is not the way to keep it going. There was a marked difference between the first half of the Colts game and the second. Our big boys up front were gassed and unable to pressure Manning. If we had some drive blockers on the line we could have gutted out some field position and given our D a breather. This line may have worked behind a big power back like Deuce, but this is not what a speed back like Reggie needs. He needs gaps and quick lineman who can get down field and seal off the Weakside LB's so that he can see some daylight.
