So with the pickup of Mike Vrabel, does this mean we are going to a 3-4?
If so, right now our defense needs a whole host of new players.
LB:
The way I see it we have two LBs right now. DJ and Vrabel. Not sure if DJ will play OLB or ILB. Either way we need two LBs. Since Vrabel is an OLB, maybe that means we are going to put DJ on the opposite side and get an ILB.

Here is the biggest problem. I dont think we have a big enough guy to be a NT. I think we can "get by" with Dorsey at one DE (only because he has the speed to be used to get up the field). Maybe we can use Hali and Tank as a combo at the other DE. I dont think Hali has the size to be a 3-4 DE. I dont think Tank is quick enough for a 3-4 DE. I dont think Hali fits anywhere really well. I think the rest of the guys we have will be decent to use as depth.
So we need: 2 LBs, a NT, and a 3-4 DE.
Chris Canty could be a good pickup, and I dont think he will come too expensive.
The NT could be Raji from the draft.
As far as LBs we may look to use some of the guys we currently have on the roster (Pat Thomas, Demorrio Williams, Rocky Boiman) to fill those spots.
We may see someone like Hali who doesnt fit well used as trade bait to other teams. Who knows.
