If tapp is there we should take him. Btw, some are projecting Tapp AS an OLB (albeit in a 3-4).

I've been hoping we draft LB in the 2nd because we will get good value there due to the quality of LB depth in the draft, but the more I think about it since we don't have a 3rd rnd pick we should probably go with a CB at #2. Maybe we can get a solid LB later since ther are so many of them.

We will have a much harder time hiding a weakness at CB next year (especially if a starter gets injured - knock on wood) than LB. We have a good chance that someone already on our roster can step up and fill the need at LB.

Just picture how quickly our entire season would go down the tubes if Springs gets injured (knocking on wood again). We are too solid of a contender to hinge it all on one player staying healthy. Draft CB @ #2. Cromartie does have a nice value at that slot but also is a risk. Maybe a Demario Minter?
