While I get this type of thinking, I would prefer to upgrade either the offensive line or the pass rush before we addressed the SILB position. I just believe that the level of improvement to our roster would be better if we drafted DeCastro/Martin/Upshaw/Perry/Ingram in the first and then drafted a player like Wagner in the 3rd to upgrade our SILB spot. Protecting and getting to the QB are just so huge in todays NFL, I think we be doing ourselves a disservice by trying upgrade over Lenon/Bradley when these other areas are such huge needs.
There you and Sissy Boy go again,----- (making sense about what we should do with the O'line). All I can say about that, is that the O'line in general, (and Levi Brown in particular), don't seem to be very high on Whiz and Grimm's to-do list. I get the sense that they intend to keep Levi, (or rather sign him to a restructured deal after he tests free agency). Admittedly, he did play better toward the end of last season. I really don't see any real urgency to address our O-line however by the coaching staff.
I would like to see us take one of the three OT's in the draft, but they might all be gone before we pick. Actually, taking DeCastro makes the most sense to me, as he would probably be a lock to start for the next 13 years for the Big Red Line. THAT would be a great move in my opinion.
Barring addressing the O'line, Keuchley does it for me. With Lynch, Gore, and Jackson as RB's in our division, having a great ILB corps would be needed, and Keuchley paired with D-Wash makes a very formidable run stopping pair, (who incidently can also cover).
In any event, this will be an interesting off season indeed. I can't wait to see how the Manning 'stakes' plays out, and what we do in free agency. Then we can get really serious on the draft.
