and that's why I'm glad you're not our GM. :)
I don't see how you figure Colvin is sooo much better than Pace. First of all, Colvin is a WLB while Pace is a SLB. We don't need a WLB becasue we have Porter. So if there is anyone that is close to perfect to get, it would be Pace because we have NO ONE on our roster that is playing the SLB position right now.
Calvin Pace 6'4 270lbs
98 tackles
6.5 sacks
1 ff
1 int
Roosevelt Colvin 6'3 250lbs
27 tackles
4 sacks
1 int
11 games played
Colvin has never gotten above 70 tackles in a whole season. Colvin is a good pass rusher, but like I said before; the position he playes is filled by Porter. But for you to say Pace "SUCKS", is a very weak evaluation on a player like Pace.

That's simple. Long plays LDE until Taylor's departure. When you draft a talent like Long, you find a way to get him on the field. J.T. will probably be with us for how much longer, 1-2 years, if he isn't traded before this season starts. He's our only true pass rushing lineman in a 4-3 defense. We are now going to be shifting to a 3-4 defense, so that leaves us with no true pass rushing lineman now because J.T. is not fit for the DE position in a 3-4. There will be no problem finding a way to have Long and J.T. on the field at the same time.
Too many LBs???? In a 3-4 you can NEVER have too many LBs. LBs are the staple in a 3-4 defense. You need 8 - 9 players that can play LB on your roster when you run a 3-4 defense, and we are no where close to that right now.
Also the mock draft in my sig is from 2/20/08 (pre-combine), so it will change again, and again, and again.

If we do get Pace, I doubt that JT will be traded, but wouldn't be surprised. Due to his salary, if we do trade him, it might be in draft day trade to move up or acquire more picks, but I doubt we get more than a 3rd rd pick for him straight up. Remember if he gets traded, the new team takes on his salary and cap hit.
My guess would be if we get him, either Porter or Pace is moved to ILB with Crowder...Neither has never really played inside, and you lose some of the flexibility that Porter might give you as a pass rusher since Pace is not JP when it comes to that aspect of the position, but that arrangement could work with Crowder, barring an ILB from the draft.
Remember what NE does with Colvin. They were able to use Colvin, Vrabel, Bruschi and Thomas before Seau got there...

Whoa Whoa Whoa, were in the hell did you get that i like colvin roosevelt better than pace. I'd much rather have pace. i was just saying that we are no going to get a guy in FA that is perfect. i said nothing about liking roosevelt better than pace. you must have misunderstood. id much rather have pace.
I don't think so, I believe even if we take Pace, we will go after Chris Long...unless we trade down to far (after the 3rd pick overall), then there is a good chance we take Jake.

Pace would be a step into the right direction for this team. I love what he could possibly bring to this team. He had a great year this year and i think he is going to get a whole lot better in the passing years

OLB: porter
ILB: crowder
ILB: bell
OLB: pace

Question is are you into Pace after he gets at least $15 million guaranteed?
That's what it's going to take to sign him.

good question
is he a baller or a guy who only stepped up his game in his contract year?
if he is the latter then I would rather he get something more incentive base
