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.
Ya think? I actually thought Pool picked up his game once Leonhard went down. He had a couple of breakdowns (Garcon's TD), but overall, he played his best in the playoffs. I used to think that Safety was one of the biggest needs on this team, but I'm not so sure now.

I wouldn't be surprised if the team re-signed Pool if the price was right. It took him a while to adjust, I think, but now that he's a vet of this defense, I'm bullish on him.
