Roy very much played NT in college.  McCall certainly could do it as well and Brown will definitely be used there too.

I seemed to remember that Roy was a NT in college at Baylor, but he simply doesn't have the strength in the NFL to anchor.  McCall could play there, but how will he look?  I doubt he's a starter, possibly a backup NT.  Brown will absolutely play outside.  They may move him inside on certain packages, but in base formation, he needs to be outside.

My best guess by the current roster is McCall would start NT in base with Brown and YGM flanking him. Biggest weakness to the defense has to be FS with upgrades probably needed at NT, 5tech, ILB and CB as well.

I think LBs are good with Burns, Barno, Haynes, Luvu, Shaq, Chinn, and Smith.

Add Horn, Henderson, Jackson, STO, Taylor, and Woods into the mix and secondary looks ok.

I like Brown and McCall but YGM is too small for the line and may be the odd man out.  

I like Mazie or Tuipolutu in the late second and a free safety in the third.

I'd save our 1st and early second for the offense, Grab 2 of QB, WR, and TE.

Siaki Ika shows up in the mocks a lot. Is anything confirmed that we are going to 3-4?

No nothing confirmed. Evero is a decibel of that 34 but had said in the past you have to build your scheme around your players so it could go either way. Will probably need to see how the team approaches free agency.

Would love Ika no matter the defense, he can play both and would give us a lot of flexibility. To your other point, I haven’t heard anything either.

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      While I really hope things pan out for the young man, sometimes you've got to make a calculated guess on your returns. I wanted so bad to see us use our first round pick on a LB, C or TE this season, but I think this one injury changes everything. I might suggest taking the best and the second best OTs available in the draft with our first and second round picks. The injury to Icky really makes the first one a good choice and an affordable one. And Moton, who is long in the tooth, needs someone in the wings behind him.  This also means that BC is going to need to get a contract for this upcoming season both as a starter at LT and to train the younger player behind him. Also it means that we need to extend a solid contract to Cade Mays and lock him down as our Center for the next four years. Maybe Icky can recover fully and be a starting LT again, but the odds aren't in his favor. Maybe he could be back in line to play as a guard right as our current starters' contracts wind down. It's not pretty having to spend all your picks and money on the line, but it seems to be the wise investment in light of everything.

      Unfortunate situation.  if one of the top LTs fall in the draft I think it’s a no brainer draft pick. Then if icky returns he can move to guard and replace one of our highly paid guards that are here now.

      I dont really expect anyone to have any character or values when the system doesn't. I would respect those who did though. College Football is losing what little interest I had in it. I wasn't against giving the athletes some control but whatever this system is will kill it over time.
