Same here, OL and LB were definately our biggest weaknesses by far. Getting All SEC players like Jonah, Pratt and Davis is huge. Trayveon and Anderson are great versatible Backs that can back up GI-Joe perfectly. Really upgraded from Walton here big frickin time.

I understand we all want 3 down LB's and our MIKE in past have been blown up by TE's. However, we need a run stopper in the middle to stop teams trying to use ball control by running the football down our throat.
I like the fact we grabbed Davis and the DT Wren (who could be a stud) on defense to shore up our running defense. To win in the NFL, you have to win in the trenches, be able to run the ball and stop the run.
People sure harp on Davis's athleticism, but Dhani wasn't athletic either and he really helped out our Defense, hoping Davis's instincts make up for his lack of athleticism, we needed good tacklers at Linebacker, Davis is definately that. Also love the Wren pick, could be the big sleeper with his fast first step, size and athleticism.
