Very valid points. However, with a guru like Capers, I bet he'd be able to find a role for him whether it be at OLB or a 3-4 DE. Actually, I'd be surprised if Capers isn't on this thin ice up there, and at minimum, is forced to make some changes with the scheme and certainly the personnel. That D was about as bad as it gets and certainly was a major factor in losing that playoff game.
I just tossed out that trade idea b/c I thought it'd be a good match value-wise. There are other young and talented WR/PRs out there (Denarius Moore, Maclin, Harvin, etc...), but I don't think the teams are as deep and have the luxury of giving them up, or, they're just not good trade partners. For example, MINN probably wouldn't give up Harvin (same with PHL/Maclin) and I wouldn't want to trade with an AFC team, if at all possible. However, I could see GB willing to give up Cobb since they're so deep at WR and see Mario as pretty good value there.
