It is confirmed; straight from the horse's mouth.  Sounds like we will have multiple looks in our sub packages, so some of the fun hybrid stuff. But our base defense is confirmed to be a 3-4.  Likely 2 high shell Fangio concepts with a bit more blitzing that seemed to be Evero's MO in Denver.

This confirms a few obvious needs:

(1) 3-4 DE

(1) EDGE (could work with what we have but another wouldn't hurt)

(1) ILB

(1) Outfielder/S

Luvu could play a few roles depending on the looks.

Chinn becomes a question mark--S or LB? I'd definitely lean towards ILB, w/a hybrid type role in our sub packages. 

Exciting stuff.

 

 

Correct me if you think I'm wrong on any needs/debate player roles/have at it.

So usually 3-4 ILBs are bigger guys, think Ray Lewis. Chinn would be really small for that role, but we have numerous guys that fit the mold of OLB: Burns, Haynes, the 7th rd rookie from last year that’s really fast, his name escapes me atm. Shaq could work at MLB if he put on some weight, he has the frame for it I think, but his days here are numbered.  I think a ~245 lbs MLB could be targeted in the mid rounds of the draft or sign someone in FA. Chinn could stay a SS and just play mostly run support since our MLBs could be a little on the smaller side for now. I think Brown and YGM will be put DEs for now with both eyes open looking for YGM’s replacement.  We have a couple guys that can fill the NT role. I don’t think we’re far from having a complete 3-4 roster, maybe just a MLB and a second DE. 
 

Chinn can probably move up and play WLB in our 4-3 packages, with Burns moving back to DE and the other OLB going to the bench with a DB replacing him in the backfield.

DL wise, Karl Brooks out of Bowling Green is a cool prospect.  Mazi Smith as mentioned stands out in R2-3.  

I really like the EDGE class in R2-4 like that Felix Anudike-Uzo kid, Keion White.  If Nolan Smith (UGA) fell to R2 at our second spot, that would be an attractive get.  

Derrick Hall out of Auburn is another interesting guy to throw in.  

I actually think this really opens things up prospect wise.

Yeah Chinn is just hard to place if we're going to have two safeties playing back.  They seem completely capable of figuring it out, but he becomes somewhat of an outlier if we're strictly looking at Evero's defenses historicaly.

      Dude... you're just all over the place. You're the one who said T-Mac is better right now than Chark was at his best.

      When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).

      We clearly need to add a veteran stopgap at safety one way or the other.
