even with revisionist history, Gholston was the BPA at 6. People gloss over it, but at the time there was no other obvious pick to make.
Ideally they could fill out their need with FA but there probably wont be a FA period before the draft.
Also JMO taking a pass rusher is not a dire need. Even tho we moan about them, Thomas and Pace are still starters. It's more of a developmental thing... which is good cause it usually takes time to convert a DE to 3-4 OLB. the only position on the entire team where they "need" a starter in 2011 is probably free safety.
