The D line is going to have to be addressed in the future--maybe the FO is thinking one step at a time here--enough of half solutions and stop-gaps. We'll suffer some this year, and hit it next time.
(Probably as we speak, the FO is trading away the future in a blockbuster deal, but a guy can dream...)

This is the key. How can we get more out of our Taylor investment?
I have a hard time believing that was the deciding factor with the Landry pick. I'm wondering if we have any reason to believe that LaRon Landry can fix Sean Taylor's football instincts.
I'm not even sure Sean Taylor's intincts can be fixed by anyone but Sean Taylor. Maybe we are just going to have to accept the guy for what he is/will be, a respectable player and citizen who makes highlight reel hits on a consistent basis and gets burned a lot for touchdowns and long passes. Maybe this was the deciding factor in the Landry pick?
Maybe it was all about getting an impact safety for the future. Maybe GW doesn't trust Taylor as much as we think he does.
Or maybe none of this was ever in consideration and we just took Landry for the exact same reason we took ST, because he has good physical skills.
Well, hey, we can always draft another DB next year if this doesn't work out. (kidding people, only kidding)
