Fix the defense

We've been trying to convert to the 3-4 for 2 seasons with little success. This is the draft to do it. Take OLB Gholston with our first pick. Then Rubin, Red Bryant, Pat Simms or Dre Moore with our second and third picks. With all of the 3-4 teams these guys could go earlier than expected. If so look for ILB like Wheeler or Beau Bell. Add a mid-round CB. Then fill out the rest of the draft with small school DE who could transition to OLB for us in a year or so. So we have some decent OLB prospects (which we don't have right now).

This option fixes the DL once and for all. We get 1 or 2 guys who can play NT. Brings some LB talent onto the ballclub. And gives an impact player and pass rusher which the Jets so desperately need with our first round choice.
