I hope we take two players in this draft to help us get pressure. An OLB and a DE than can also come inside on 4 man fronts. I also hope we take a CB that can play outside as I think we have the slot covered.
CB's - Who's your favorite?

I don't know much about Ford, though. I've heard he's a good pass rusher, I've heard he's limited... I don't know whether he should excite me as a difference maker or not. Thoughts?Adipose

I don't know if I would say he can't be a difference maker. Ford is not a very polished pass rusher. He basically has one move, speed rush upfield. He doesn't use his hands well, and he needs to learn to be a better rounded player, more physical and learn technique. He has a lot to learn, but if he is willing and can improve, he has the tools to be at least a decent, if not great pass rusher.
I see him as sort of a polar opposite of Trent Murphy. The guy has good technique for a college player. But he is not very explosive. The guy gets a lot of effort sacks on QB who hold the ball too long, but I don't see many of his sacks translating to the NFL. I see him as a faster, more fluid Jared Johnson type of guy. But like Johnson, I don't see him as a sack guy, and I don't see that changing.

Verrett sounds like a quality/solid player, but I just can't fathom a guy his size being able to adequately cover a 6'5" WR like Evans. I'd rather go for a Jean-Baptiste or Desir in 2nd or 3rd round, respectively.

I probably wouldn't take Moncrief higher than where we naturally pick in the 2nd, nor would I burn a pick on McGill or Desir any sooner than the 3rd.
