Neither Jerry Jones nor Bill Parcells are very apt to pick an OL in the 1st rd., no matter how badly we need one. It's just not in their blood. We do need another pass rusher badly in order to keep the heat off of our pathetic secondary. As long as this defense plays pass with LBs on WRs, and 5-7 DBs on 6-3 WRs, then we are going to have to put some serious heat on the QB.
At #22 the Dallas Cowboys select:
Victor Abiamiri, OLB, Notre Dame, 6-4, 270, 4.6 (40).
Victor had 10 sacks, 14 QBH, & 14.5 TFL in 12 games. Although constantly double-teamed, Abiamiri led the Fighting Irish in pressuring the QB throughout the 2006 campaign. At 6-4, 270, with 4.6 speed, he would be ideal for the SOLB position. Greg Ellis is getting older, & doesn't like where he's playing, and Bobby Carpenter, though improving, seems to fit better inside.
DeMarcus Ware would finally have a pass rushing mate to take the pressure off of him, and attack from both sides.
Another possibility is Adam Carriker, DE, Nebraska. Carriker is 6-6, 290, with 4.88 speed. He had 9.5 sacks his junior year, with 21 QBH. His numbers were down this year, but I'm wondering if it's because, with many seniors from last year gone, he's taking the brunt of the blocking schemes. He seems to be another Jason Hatcher, except he's played against top notch talent.
