We still need a LB, but I'm not sur of the talent level at this pick. That still seems like a pretty good option.
I could also see us going QB, HB, or WR here.

I agree on the DE, if we keep all of them. I know some on the board were looking for Canty in the 3rd and he would be a great pick here if he's still available. But, the addition of Hall makes this pick less practical unless we release a DE (Hicks, Wilkerson, Stills?).
I would like a linebacker here, but there is not really anyone left who stands out. There just doesn't seem to be good value at LB here.
Right now Andrew Walter, Kyle Orton, and Ryan Fitzpatrick are still on the board, so there is pretty good value left at the QB position. But, if all are still available at 3.99, it is likely that at least one will remain at our next pick at 4.116.
With the Missouri tandem of Mosely and Ellison still available, there is still excellent value at the DT position. Babineaux is also still available, although he will likely play DE at the pro level.
Overall, I think that if Canty or Mosely is available at this pick, it would be a mistake to pass on them. Both are regarded by many as mid 2nd round prospects. If both are available, I would take Canty and release whichever DE makes the most sense fiscally. Hopefully this would allow us to pursue Sharper, who would have a much greater impact than any of the LB's we could look at here.
