Not complain? I will be doing cartwheels! I would love to win the line of scrimmage all of the time and to pressure the opposing QB more than ours is pressured all of the time. Do both and I can't imagine, with our existing young and improving talent elsewhere, not being significantly better next year
Well, I would be all for this too, but what I meant was that this would be a squandering of resources, if you're hellbent on fixing the teams problems KNOWING that it would mean cutting a bunch of draft choices and current players.
The Patriots have a ton of young players on the line, and older talent:
Warren, Warren, Wilfork, Wright, Brace, Pryor, Deadrick, Love, Richard, Weston, Moore, and you add two more DEs to that, and you're now in an interesting situation.
At OLB, we have Ninkovich, Cunningham, Banta-Cain. This is a position where you could actually draft 3 players, and not worry too much about overcrowding. You keep 4, make Tully compete for his job, and you can easily see 2 of the 3 drafted make the team.
On the OL, Kaczur, Wendell, Ohrenberger are all potential cuts. Assuming Light and Mankins come back, that leaves only 5 sure bets on the line. You could draft at lest 4 guys and find spaces for them--though the Patriots tried that and failed with late round picks.
I would address OLB first, maybe twice in the first 2 rounds, then split between OL/DE with the other picks in the first 2 rounds.
Von Miller weighs 245 by the way. I know BB likes them heavier, but this kid could get up to 250. He's shorter than BB likes them as well at 6'2" but if he's a player, he is not very light in the pants.
I guess he has to set the edge but... he may have the size to play OLB here.
