Vikings could use him as well. Plus I've heard a couple people saying throw positional value out the window.

I don't think he will be there at 19, but I'd love it if he was.

It's kind of nice to be at a spot where we have capable starters at each position. Sure we can upgrade several of those NB, FS, ILB, WR3, DE, C etc... but I'm with you here. I have preferences but as long as their don't reach too much I'm probably good with the pick.

Honestly he played both but was at his best as a strong safety. That was when they had traditional roles like FS and SS. I think Grant was out FS for a chuck of Minter's career here.

I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore. He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

They tried to sabotage him with that old video clip about him not watching film.

I think Rodriguez works there. He is a little undersized for 3-4 honestly and TT ran a 4-2-5 which is really what we ran the most last year and will be running this year. Technically in our 3-4 Wharton wasn’t a starter but when healthy he had plenty of minutes due to us using 4 DL fronts a lot. Lloyd and Rodriguez would be solid starters with Wallace as the depth or coming out when we actually are in a 4-3. 4-2-5 is what you are really wanting your roster built for. We are almost certainly drafting a ILB this draft whether we change or not also.

yeah I think DB gets more pressure in the 3-4 but he can play either.

Wallace, Lloyd, and a draft pick (hopefully Rodriguez) would be your LBs in the 4-3. Wallace is a bit undersized in the 3-4 and is decent at coverage. Again we have a NB in most of our plays so it will be Lloyd and Wallace/draft pick on the field a majority of the time. We are almost certainly double dipping at LB with Lloyd and a draft pick this offseason.

There is a rumor we might switch to a 4-3 because Phillips and Scourton can easily play DE there and Wharton and DB can be the DTs. Lloyd can play either and Wallace might be better in a 4-3. Not that it really matters as we are constantly changing up our formations throughout the game. Canales mentioned something about changing the defensive front which is where these rumors started.

Since we won't have to rush either of them out I think you can draft both OL in the mid rounds, especially the center if not later rounds.

I doubt we are done. I think BC comes back pretty cheap if he clears medical and I think we draft a OT and a C for depth to future starters.

If the Oregon safety is there we shouldn’t hesitate to take him. That Toledo safety is tempting too.

ChatGPT knows!

Rodriguez please! Hill would be nice too.
