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.

I think he likes the Cincinnati LB too.

I heard a rumor they were actually looking at Trevin at some big nickel packages. Not saying it will work out but they may try him there some in camp.

Never be afraid to upgrade.

So they signed Robinson and Rozeboom...

I watched him play Auburn in week 1 and he looked like an NFL QB to me. His arm looked solid, maybe not the most mobile guy but still has some talent.

GMs care though. One bad season and they can get fired. Drafting a player in the 1st that would only start due to injury is pretty rare. It make sense to us fans who have the luxury of thinking beyond this year.

I guess there is some confusion here. Picking an OT in the first probably isn't happening unless there is someone that drops to our spot. We absolutely need to draft an OT in this draft for depth/future, but signing Walker gives us the luxury of taking one in the mid rounds who might not be ready to start right away. I also wouldn't be surprised if we sign BC for a reasonable contract for depth once we clear up some space. There seems to be mutual interest there. Leashes are just too short in the NFL for a GM to draft a player that wouldn't be an immediate impact player in the 1st round unless there is huge value. We also need a C in this draft to learn behind our one year rental as well. Again I don't see this happening in the 1st, but mid to late could work there. Ideally we draft a C and future RT to take over for Moton after this year for our OL. Then we can decided between Walker/Icky (depending on recovery) for future LT.

Yeah but regardless your 1st round pick would be a depth player year 1.

It would be tough to draft a non starter in round 1, but the benefit down the road would be nice...

Seems a bit undersized as well. I believe he was basically calling the defensive plays on the field. He is very knowledgeable, but I wouldn’t want him at 19 personally.

He is not as athletic as the other guys in his class. It would only hurt his stock at this point...

Thanks Juan! You are the real MVP!

We bought a pick? It was money already spent. We acquire a pick for a QB that was probably looking at retirement.

Amazing! I want to know how much money we save with this move.

They don't have guidelines for hand size for the backup QB.
