Samuel, Tillman, Winfield, Springs, Trufant, Ronde Barber, Newman, Leigh Bodden, McAllister, and Rasheen Mathis are all guys I'd want on my team, but I can't say any of them are really lockdown type players, and that makes a difference.
Finding a complete DE is really difficult (Jared Allen, Aaron Kampman may be the only two), but it's not so hard to find an elite pass rusher if you are willing to skimp on size. Of course, taking Merling isn't skimping on size, but Harvey definately is.

Speaking of Merling, I think I heard he just had hernia surgery.
