I think we would be fine with a Dline of:

Carter
Golston
Griffin
Adams

Fine until Brandon Jacobs puts up 250 on us. I have an idea, why dont we put Springs at DT? He's quick.

I think Adams would be a good pick, but we can't force him into a role his skills aren't adept for. Two speed rushers are pretty easy to nullify in this league if the QB is smart enough to step up. Adams has to replace Carter if he wants to play.

Adams' isn't a better end than Carriker, IMO. I would take Carriker even with adams available.

I still don't understand why so many people are latched on to Calvin Johnson's nuts. Sure, he very well could turn out to be the next Larry Fitzgerald, but with Moss on the roster already, why is that so exciting?

If you wanted a receiver that bad, why not suggest that we trade the 6th to Arizona for Fitzgerald and their 2nd? I know it's a bad deal, but at least its a better deal than trading up to get Johnson, not to mention that Fitzgerald DOESN'T have bust potential anymore (unlike CJ).
