Defensive line arrangement

"Tyson Jackson would be the perfect fit at DE, if we trade down in the 20's

OT Jamon Meredith in the 2nd"

I'd have to agree with this statement...since there is alot of depth at OL, DE, & LB in the draft then trade down, pick up the best DE/LB available in the first, pick up the best available OL prospect in the 2nd and draft the best DE/LB prospect in the 3rd (which ever position wasn't picked in the first)! Putting Gholston or Monte on the edge isn't needed if we pick up a younger faster version of Daniels in the draft (Tyson Jackson) and Jamon Meredith is a sleeper in the second. The man is a beast and can compete for the right tackle spot!

That's the plan! Don't draft at 13...instead trade down and get more picks.

We better not bank on the DE's we have now . I know we have a very good Defense , Im not sure we can slowdown the better teams without finding a DE that can get upfield and beat the opps Tackle . AC is a damn good DE , but he rarely beats the guy accross from him . We will still have one heck of a D , but we need to get lucky and find a DE in rd 3 .

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of bringing Daniels back as a starter. He's a good run stopping end and he can slide inside. The Titans moved Haynesworth around the line all the time. I was hoping we could get Canty to do this, but we could have Daniels on the outside on 1st and 2nd downs and then move him inside, with Haynesworth lining up at the DE on 3rd and long.

I wouldn't do this on every single 3rd and long, just sometimes. Other times I would bring in Wilson and hope that he can shed some blocks to get to the QB.
