sure if u wanna take away his best assets..a pass rusher.
Then if you drafted him, what would you do? Move Vrabel to ILB? Cut Colvin and use the $$ to sign an ILB?
Thomas and Vrabel inside with Colvin and Gholston on outside. Resign Bruschi/Seau (1) to help come in and give breathers.
plus no guarantee that Gholston would start right away here as he is making a transition in a tough system.
theres a lot of combos we can make with the LBs we have.
are you a supporter of the ghoslton pick?
yes. Him or McKelvin @ #7

Neither.
Vrabel, Colvin (hopefully an extended Colvin), and Gholston or another OLB draft pick would be a very, very good trio to rotate and keep healthy (similar to the '04 rotation of Vrabel, Willie, and Colvin). Then I'd like Thomas back in the middle (not exclusively, mind you, just for the most part) with Bruschi/Seau (why not both as bit players?) and a young, second or third round ILB.

Forgive me, I don't watch enough college football to really know how well transitions to pro go, but is there any chance Gholston can move to ILB in the Pats 3-4 system if we were to get him?
ILB is a main concern this offseason, but maybe AD + Bruschi/Seau + draftees is enough.
OK, thanks for the input. My line of thinking is that by what I've read he seems like he could end up being the guy worth using the 7th pick on, but we've already got our 2 starting OLBs and then Thomas, who can play OLB at a high-level as well. So with that line of thinking...where does that leave room for Gholston?
