May not be a crazy limb here, but after re-watching most of our games from last year I've come to the conclusion that it is an absolute no-brainer, DT is our #1 need. Improved DT play will drastically increase the production of our secondary, as well as our linebackers. I'd argue that it'll additionally assist our DE's, who'll likely be Ware & Selvie, in getting pressure next year. Outside of DT, S is our biggest whole. However both Wilcox and Church have flashed immense potential, at DT I don't believe anyone outside of Hatcher is a worthy project, or starting NFL player. The only way we are contenders next year is with a dramatic increase in play at DT, it doesn't matter if we had Shermon, Revis, Chancellor and Thomas in our secondary, they can't cover with this pathetic excuse of a pass rush.
Our window may be about shut, but we can pry it back open for another two seasons with two high-potential/high-production DT's. I'm now in favor of Donald or Jernigan at #16, in fact (and this will get a lot of heat), I'd like to come back into the the 1st and get both. A lot of teams are desperate to move down because of this drafts depth, our 2nd and 4th (and a next year 5th) could likely get us back in at #18-#20. This only works if Donald makes it to #18 and Jernigan is still on the board (which he likely will be). If we were able to do this, I think we are a playoff team next year.
