That is something you fix right now or dont expect to be winning consistanly.

I could not agree more. If you don't bring pressure in the NFL these days, even mediocre QB's will eat you alive. I'm not saying that a DE we are sold on will be there at 15, but if he is it would seem dumb to me to pass him up just because Kubiak drafted Mario and Okoye. There are certain positions where we are solid, but for the ones where we aren't, I say go BPA.

Just out of curiousity if you could get Orakpo in the first and Moore in the second, or Mays in the first and Micheal Johnson in the second. Which would you do

There ought to be other ways to get a pass-rusher besides using your first pick every year. How did the Giants get so many rushers? Other than Kiwi, I don't recall them using high draft picks on Tuck, Umiyura, etc. Yet they have arguably the best pass rush in the NFL. So, surely there are other ways to find a pass rush besides investing your first-rounder every year.

I'm not saying "don't do it" if that's your BPA on the board because we certainly need one but there ought to be ways to get pressure on a QB without stripping the rest of the team of #1 picks every year.
