I think the bigger bang for the buck is to have a playmaker on the field for all three downs rather than a guy who comes in on passing situations only. Now, if you think English or Sintim can play the SAM on first and 2nd down, then you might have an argument. I just think that they may be more of a liability in space on 1st and 2nd down as a SAM than they make a positive impact on 3rd down.

I won't argue that these players have talent, I'm just trying to think who makes the TEAM better overall.
It seems like you are working off a lot of assumptions... For instance, the assumption that Unger can't beat out CMyers in the near future. Or, the assumption that our three interior olmen will all not miss time this year. Or, Chester Pitts will be re-signed before next season.

Even assuming all of that, I just don't think you can draft for immediate impact. Just take good players, particularly at positions where your depth is bad and then let competition, injuries, etc... work itself out.
