Lutui had some killer blocks today though. He was quite the mauler against the Lions.

It will be a pass rushing OLB... unless someone outrageously talented drops to us

Isn't that Cody Brown?

If we drafted OL in the first 5 rounds I would be happy.

I think either Brandon Keith or Herman Johnson become starters next year. Even if Davis and Brown take over each of the 2 OLB spots we still need to add more young talent there. I think we have a grand total of 2 guys under 30 at that position.

thought we were grooming Keith and H. Johnson to take over

We will take the BPA at either WILB, OT, OLB, CB or TE (In that order IMO).

Old men Berry, Chike, Haggans... 'nuff said

Brown is not proven yet and we need to add more play making talent here using a high draft pick.

Tackle, linebacker, I don't care. Let's bring in somebody that isn't a bust, we're building up a 1st round success streak.

Definitely need to add linebackers. At all four spots. We need thumpers though. No more finesse, undersized guys like Hightower. We have all the special teams players we need.

I'd rather take two linebackers with our first two picks.

Sadly Lutui walks. Keith will start RG (whereas he should be at RT). Levi should be very strongly pushed to give up his spot. But Deuce wasn't flawless till this year, so don't replace Levi out of hand.

Why do you think Lutui walks? It's not like he's going to break the bank to keep and more than likely we'll see a change at LT. For all the talk about continuity on the line I don't think they're going to want to have that many changes in one offseason.

Prior to getting hurt Gandy has been pretty damn good. Have any of you ever had a hernia (not that I have-- just wondering if you have)?? I wouldn't be so quick to get rid of the guy.
