That would make our starting OL potentially LT Glenn, LG Boling, C Price, RG Hernandez, RT Fisher. That would be better than last year's by a long shot.
I would look at S Justin Reid from Stanford. He's a ballhawk with excellent speed and athleticism (4.4), who has experience playing safety, nickel and cornerback. At 6-1 210 he has the size and strength. Drafting him would essentially be drafting both a safety and cornerback simultaneously, as he can play both.
I would also look at DT Harrison Phillips from Stanford at 6'3 310. He had 102 tackles, 17 tackles for loss, and 7.5 sacks. By the way he's had over 14 sacks the last two years combined. He's got a swim move almost as brutal as his strength, 42 bench press reps are a lot, but it's the intangibles and heart that go with it that can make him a nightmare next to Atkins. Although it's obviously not a glaring need for us, but in terms of talent it would easily be justifiable taking him.
Good stuff on Harrison Phillips man, i didn't know he had THAT good of stats. Surprised he is still on the board.
