If he makes it to our pick in the 2nd round. Might not be a bad idea to add a stud LB and actually use more 4-3 base D.

Not sure adding a coverage guy at LB is going to do much to help giving up 6/ypc on the ground.  However, the team DOES need a NT, so drafting a good one and signing a sturdy vet to bridge the gap would help a lot with slowing the bleeding in rush defense.  Part two of that will be the secondary being more settled and communicating more smoothly this season.
