If you go back to Gibbs 1, you find players like:

Keenan McCardell: 12th round 1991
Mark Schlereth: 10th round 1989
Clarence Vaughn: 8th round 1987
Kurt Gouveia: 8th round 1986
Barry Wilburn: 8th round 1985
Terry Orr: 10th round 1985
Raleigh McKenzie: 11th round 1985
Kelvin Bryant: 7th round 1983
Ken Coffey: 9th round 1982
Charlie Brown: 8th round 1981
Darryl Grant: 9th round 1981
Clint Didier: 12th round 1981

None of those guys were shabby players.

You can credit Beathard and Casserly if you like, but the point is that talent can be found in late rounds of the draft. Good scouts and GMs do not waste 7th round picks and allow those guys to walk into someone else's camp. I say that you find the biggest bull left in the pen, give him good technique coaching and make a servicable lineman out of him.

I wont credit Casserly it was all Beathard back then.

This regime hasen't proved at all that they can evaluate late round talent. They better step up to the plate this draft because there are no 1st round no brainers waiting for them.

As for which direction we should go, I think we have many needs I personally would take the best available player, I really would like to add a mauler to our offensive line I think we have a weak link in Dockery, and I am not sold on Rabach either. I would then look for some serious speed for our LB's and secondary.

Evans should move into the starting left DE, and hopefully find someone to take over for Daniels, Daniels finished strong but he's injury prone and another year older. We won't find stars, but we may find upgrades.

Perhaps the biggest impact considering our situation on defense would be a very fast outside LB who Williams can Groom, he just needs physical ability Williams will teach him the rest ALA Clemons.
