ok. valid point (i'm not trying to be condescending, just agreeing with you).
I personally would go about it by trying to find some depth at OLB. Hali is getting older and his contract is large. Houston is on his last contract yr. We saw how the pass rush was effected when they were injured. I would want someone who can come in and provide depth at that position, and that individual should still be able to do what you are wanting to do (i.e. pass rush).
That OLB can be a role player who has the ability to eventually be a full time starter. I personally dont see Aaron Donald as a fulltime starter in a 3-4 defense. He doesnt have the length I'm looking for at DE or OLB, IMO.
