What round would you target a DE and has any names piqued your interest. 

I've not researched any. That's for the professional scouts. I just know what they've being trying isn't working and it's because of the light ass players they've been drafting.  They've targeted fast players on defense and all are weak in both the run and the pass. Too much focus has been put on speed and not enough on strength and ability.

They better not get another tweener DE.  I'm tiired of the hybrid crap we've been running unsuccessfully for years. Get real DE's and DT's and stop this tweener horseshit.

I'd say it's at least possible they go full on 3-4.

Probably depends on who the DC is.

I believe that was Phil Snows MO. Light backers to run his 3-3 stack, hybrid nickel Big Nickel, Little nickel. The DE’s, Will, or Sam backers can play zone coverage, which sucks in run support.

you mean objectively?

Meaning something other than your tinfoil hat / uninformed speculation.

I'd start with the annual agent survey that The Athletic does where they rate GMs and personnel people on things like football knowledge and trustworthiness. Fitterer and Morgan have both been discussed in the most recent few of those.

There's also plenty to find in recent articles centered around the hiring of Frank Reich.

He was trying to build a hybrid defense that he could use for multiple fronts and against any offense they went up against.  The problem is you cannot have 30 players on defense to rotate in and out like in college.

    • Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years (Brown is the only current player I think there is even an argument to be made over T-Mac there), with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.
    • Laughing at Slayton (Mooney or Calvin Austin III), but telling me that Coker is the next best thing since sliced bread...You laughing at Theo Johnson in reference to our guys too? LOL No one in their right mind thinks Nabers is anything but a stud (definitely top 10 if not 5 potential). You do realize that Thomas was in a new system with a furst-time coach last year (with a questionable QB to boot)? And yet still, it's possible that he eclipses even T-mac (not saying that he will). They didn't even mention Travis Hunter. In any event, we're not in the top half. Draft another legit receiver, and we will be. 
    • Absolutely, very fair assessment of the team.
