IMO this team needed new blood in the trenches. Gruden's group tied for 8th in the league (with Cincinnati) for points per game allowed at 26.2. A CB and ILB might help in pass coverage (2nd and 5th pick), but the best defenses come from strong defensive lines.

Eh -- not a fan anymore. The Davis family screwed Oakland too many times. Hope they tank again.
