I think OLB is a spot where we should look to add someone in the draft
but specifically LOLB its the one position in the tranisition to 3-4 where i don't think we have a incoming proven player/starter who is going to make an easy transition

-we have Carter who'll be moving from DE and the question remains how well he can make the transition (but i think he'll do better then people think, especially since it seems like Haslett is going to play to his strengths i.e. more pass rushing then coverage)

-behind Carter is Wilson who might actually be a better all around 3-4 OLB after spending last year as Orkapo's back-up at SAM (which is essentially the same position as 3-4 LOLB except with more coverage responsibilities) but he's still unproven
