I don't think I'd slit my wrist over this pick if we ended up with Rolle for FS. Then again I don't know that I'd be "whoopin' and hollerin'" for joy either. I think Rolle would most likely make a fine FS and it would put us as the owners of one of the best secondaries in the league (we should already be pushing that with our top three). If we could then add a pass rush somehow we would have a killer pass defense.
However, I feel that there are better ways to spend the #11 pick. I think the pass rusher is the #1 priority at this juncture. Things could change by time for the draft though, and if we get the pass rusher in FA or trade then FS is almost as big of a concern as LB and I think a bit higher priority than OT or WR.
Tucker did well in pass protection early in the year last year when Vinny was throwing 50 times a game; I would not have a problem going into the season with him. Key and Glenn are still solid at WR and with Crayton, Morgan and Copper I think we can field a pretty decent WR corp if Glenn can stay healthy. Plus Morgan ahs been working with Key on his technique in coping with an eye dominance (if I remember correctly) problem that they both share so hopefully he will be a better receiver. And Crayton and Copper will have a year in the system under their belts and I think both are talented; especially Crayton.
My first inclination is to get a OLB or DE (or tweener) with that #11 pick for our pass rush. However, I would have no problem with taking Rolle for FS if Parcells was happy with our front seven by then.
