So I'll just focus on your guys at OL, DT, FS, CB, RB, WR.

Focusing on DT position, I'd consider not only "upgrading" Shaun Cody at the NT position, but I'm also wanting to replace Jeff Zgonina. Deljuan Robinson and Frank Okam could use some competition, in my opinion. Therefore, I would not be hesitant to draft 2 DTs in this draft. Preferrably, a NT and a 3-Tech (one of each). I'm not in a hurry to spend a TOP pick on this "need" as we have seen, just b/c we used a first round pick on a DT (T.J. & A.O.), there's not guarantee that the produce immediately. So, the guys I'm targeting....

NT:
Jay Ross, East Carolina
Height: 6-3. Weight: 314.
Projected 40 Time: 5.14.
Projected Round (2009): 3-4.
11/28/09: Has 35 tackles, three TFL, 1.5 sacks and a 49-yard fumble return for a touchdown. Jay Ross didn't look too bad running that one back on national TV.
2/14/09: Once again an All-Conference USA honorable mention, Jay Ross accumulated 48 tackles, 9.5 TFL and 4.5 sacks.

Ekom Udofia, Stanford
Height: 6-2. Weight: 315.
Projected 40 Time: 5.12.
Projected Round (2009): 4-5.
11/28/09: Hobbled by an ankle injury this year, Ekom Udofia has 34 tackles and 1.5 TFL in 11 games. Should be a solid reserve nose tackle in the NFL.

Cam Thomas, North Carolina
Height: 6-3. Weight: 328.
Projected 40 Time: 5.18
Projected Round (2009): 5-6
12/31/08: Finished season with 34 tackles, 3.5 TFL, and one sack in 13 games.

Torrell Troup, Central Florida
Height: 6-3. Weight: 314.
Projected 40 Time: 5.34.
Projected Round (2010): 6-7.
11/28/09: Has 27 tackles, five TFL and two sacks in 11 games. Some 3-4 team needing nose tackle depth will take him late.

Kade Weston, Georgia
Height: 6-5. Weight: 322.
Projected 40 Time: 5.05.
Projected Round (2010): 6-7.
11/28/09: Solid numbers for a nose tackle: 25 tackles, six TFL and two sacks in 11 games.

3-Tech:
Lamarr Houston, Texas

Projected 40 Time: 5.02.
Projected Round (2010): 3-4.
11/28/09: Having a monster year for the Longhorns with 37 tackles, 13.5 TFL and five sacks in 11 games.

11/28/09: A 4-3 under tackle who can really get after the quarterback, Mick Williams has 13 TFL and four sacks in nine games this season.
