    Hypothetically W/O worrying about the CAP and future issues. Anyone from the other 31 teams ?

    Earl Thomas ?

    NaVorro Bowman -- a healthy pre-injury Bowman that is.

    If not him, then Luke Kuechly

    Pre-2013 I would have said Von Miller.

    But now I would take another elite OLB pass rusher like Aldon Smith or Cameron Wake.

    Richard Sherman.

    A shut-down CB makes the entire defense better.

    Def Luke Kuechly. Would have just as easily said Navorro Bowman as well, but that knee injury was gruesome. No doubt that he'll bouce back though.

    Safety and ILB just aren't very important in the grand scheme of things. That's why they aren't paid like DE's and CB's. Bowman, Thomas, Kuechly - great players (well, Thomas is overrated and Bowman is hurt) that just aren't that important compared to CB or DE. If you're adding someone to this team it's a 34OLB or CB. Watt is the only guy who transcends his position right now.

    There it is, Suh and Watt. Then draft Clowney and declare war on QB's.

    If you've ever actually watched Kuechly or Bowman play, I don't see how you can say that thier roles aren't important in the grand scheme of things. These guys absolutely transcend thier positions. Constantly making plays, causing turnovers, ALWAYS around the ball. We're not talking about Brady James or Barrett Ruud here. Hell, Kuechly was the DPOY last season. Come on now...
