    Gholston would be good, but we definitely need to address the offensive line.

    I say we get Gholston to boost the pass-rush only if we switch to a 4-3 defense. And get Frank Okam from Texas to bulster our run defense and then the JETS can work on the offensive line and etc.

    I think if were to get Okam and Gholston the 3-4 would be a better fit. Okam is perfect size for the NT position and Gholston is the perfect OLB DE hybrid in the 3-4.

    Okam fits more of the DE position in the 3-4.

    Not that I think Okam is a good prospect, but he's big and athletic.

    6'5 320 sounds like good size for the NT position to me.

    6'5 320 is good size for any position, but most NT's are short (6'1-6'3) and very stout/heavy.

    Somebody would have to teach Okam leverage and such though...it's not exactly his area of expertise.
