Good to see my man DeMaco Ryans on that list. Although I've wavered somewhat, I still like the idea of teaming him up with Bruschi for a couple of years before he becomes the next Bruschi. The only thing is, I also like the idea of a TJ type like Schlegel and mixing and matching the alignments as such :

Run Downs :
OLB - Vrabel and Colvin
ILB - Bruschi and Schlegel

Pass Downs :
OLB - Banta-Cain and Colvin
ILB - Bruschi and Vrabel

Add NC State LB Oliver Hoyte to the list. He's projected to go in the mid-to-late rounds. Pees was very impressed by Hoyte's knowledge of gametime situations.
