Foster pick, 2nd round Mixon. I would like a John Ross/McMillan better or instead of McMillan a pass rusher like Taco
or Walker in the 2nd. We definately need a pass rusher opposite Dunlap that is not the walking tree.

WJ3 i think will be great but i really like Dennard if he can stay healthy as well... and lets never forget about the
versatile Josh Shaw who is an awesome player.

Derron is just such a ballhawk and he can roam like Reggie could. We can use Shawn as a Nickel LB and run stopper
at Safety. I am one that thinks Shawn got a bad rap last year but he is just not the free roaming ballhawk that Derron
is, i think he could be special if he learned how to tackle well.

Walking Tree?  Bwahahaha...Yes, he at least has long limbs to sometimes knock down a pass, but he doesn't rush the passer well.  I really think, on the defense anyways, that a speedy RDE that can create some serious pressure is the missing piece on defense.  You simply can't rely on your front four for pressure when only two of them are capable pass rushers.  That is why I was so happy when Paulie G would dial up the rare safety blitz.  I thought it showed offenses something they weren't used to and helped to generate some pass rush, but it happened so infrequently.

I agree with you about Shaw.  He was an absolute steal in the 4th round.  I am not so sold on Dennard yet, but I am hoping he gets a shot at his outside position.  The guy just isn't a slot CB.  That's Shaw's job.

Williams struggled early on, but progressed throughout the season.  I hope he takes his game to the next level in his second full year as starter under the same coaching staff.
