If you can get a great CB like Darrell Revis without having to pay him $15Million per season, you do it. The guy we selected last season wasn't the shut-down CB they thought they were getting. If the problem isn't solved, then yes, you keep trying to fix it.
Antonio Smith isn't going to be the end-all in this 3-4 defense. Also, we have to consider rotations and injury. I think Heyward is going to be special, so I go get him when I look at the rest of the draft. Cam Jordan is a possibility too, but my views have changed after the Sr. Bowl game as to how high I take him. The Combine will further move my rankings. Maybe we could 'slum' it with a Christian Ballard or Greg Romeus later in the draft.
As far as Justin Houston is concerned.....I'm a BullDawgs fan, so I am biased. So, once the Combine comes and goes and people start comparing his measurables to the other guys and look at more film, then maybe rankings will change. As for me, he's the best OLB prospect in the draft.
