| front runners for this selection are Carpenter and | | | | six are available Dallas will likely try to trade back |
| Wimbley. It is believed that free agent linebacker | | | | again. I haven't made up my mind completely on |
| Akin Ayodele will play inside next to James, thus | | | | who I want at this pick. I love Daniel Bullocks and |

| CARPENTER. While I like Wimbley, I believe | | | | Roman Harper, Anthony Smith, and Pat Watkins, |
| Carpenter is the better fit because he is more of | | | | and OGs Kevin Boothe and Jason Spitz. This pick |
| an all-around linebacker. Wimbley is a one | | | | depends on the need. I would probably take |

| of these largely one dimensional pass rushers. | | | | we haven't already drafted a safety. Pat Watkins |
| Pittsburgh has Clark Haggins opposite pass rushing | | | | has great potential, but he will struggle badly if |
| menace Joey Porter. Haggins is equally effective | | | | asked to start immediately. Jason Spitz is similar |
| rushing the passer, stopping the run, and covering | | | | to Peterman as a prospect. Boothe is a poor |
| a tight end. The same could be said for the | | | | man's Charles Spencer. He is big, strong, athletic |
| Patriots who had Mike Vrabel and Roosevelt | | | | and can play both right tackle and guard. He is an |
| Colvin to compliment McGinest. Carpenter can be | | | | interesting prospect to say the least.I hope this |
