let's build one on madden

now, of any of the FA talk out there, I would definately take Pierce back. He is only 31, has a few very productive years left and if we switch to the 3-4 defense, the pairing of Fletch and Pierce would look a lot better than Rocky playing on the inside. that would allow Orakpo and Rocky to play the outside, and allow Carter to play both down and standing up in certain situations, and hell even put hayensworth on the end sometimes.

I would love to see Pierce back. Maybe he'll get healthy & have a comeback year. Don't forget that he started out playing OLB. He could possibly be used much like Blades is now; a little at MLB (or ILB if 3-4), and some SAM.

Unless we draft McClain at #4, I would be surprised if we go LB in the early rounds. Pierce could likely win a job here if we don't draft any LBs early.

McClain apparently isnt as high in the minds of NFL execs as I would have thought. I've heard the name Koa Misi attached to the Redskins, but I agree with you. I don't think they take a LB in the first couple of rounds. Unless someone like McClain or Spikes drops to round 2.

I hope they draft him, Koa is a playmaker from Utah. That guy is all over the field and making big plays.
