I think it's clear what team needs, a TRUE N.T. cause Ratliff is AWESOME but can't handle the double teams on running plays for the most part, and if we get a N.T. 330 pounds to take on double teams, that would allow Ratliff to play L.D.E. in spears spot and make a LOT MORE PLAYS then he's making whihc is scary cause he's getting double teamed EVERY PLAY as a N.T. and still making plays, so if we move him ot D.e. and seeing less double teams, he'll be a dominating lineman, more so then he is now which is scary, and then on top of a N.T., go out and get ANOTHER guy like Ratliff, soeone who consistenly gets into the backfield and gets Q.B. pressure from the D-line.

I like my mock of getting B.J. Raji to play N.T. and then using our 3rd rounder on a D.T. Vance Johnson and move him to D.E. and he's like Ratliff, he gets to the Q.B. even though double teamed.

Ratliff would be an awesome 4-3 DT or 3-4 DE. The fact that he's accomplishing what he is from the NT is impressive. I believe that a true widebody, run-stuffing NT is our biggest off-season need. We can move Ratlff to end to replace Chris Canty. If Chris Canty re-signs, trade Spears.
