I'd like to see how much Jake Scott (Colts) would set us back and of course...

I wouldn't be me if I didn't say let's go after Justin Smith! He's not the greatest pass rusher (though he's underrated in that regard) but he is (in my opinion) one of the most versatile every down defensive linemen in the league. He can play the run and the pass effectively well. You could even slide him into a DT role on some plays. Someone like Smith can really free things up for the defense to make plays.

Lance Briggs is a tempting option but I think maybe we should take a look at Calvin Pace. The big question marks with him of course are what exactly is he (DE or LB?) and were his 2007 numbers because it was a contract year?

Draftwise, I'm pretty torn. My general beliefs are pretty consistent (focus on getting a DB and line depth) but the players tend to vary. Today, I'll say 1st round-DB Antoine Cason, 2nd round-OT Mike McGlynn, 3rd round-WR Earl Bennett, 5th round-DT Marcus Harrison, 6th round-Another Guard, 7th round-Some QB (Erik Ainge? first name that came to mind)

are u kidding me, Calvin Pace? who, we don't need another marcus washington. Antoine Cason, c'mon bro, u can do better than that, maybe in the 2nd round but not the 1st. there are about 5 CB's better than him: Aqib Cromartie, Jenkins, Flowers and the dude from Troy, then Cason. Earl Bennett had less than 10 touchdowns in his carrer at Vanderbilt. And Justin Smith is not available. screw Ainge too, lets start developing the most accurate quarterback in this years draft, Colt Brennen. I sure hope your dream remains just that.
