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.

      MLB Devin Lloyd for WR Jalen Coker??

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I'm not to sure it's a solid argument to try to estimate what he will do this season, BUT he's had a solid 3 years in the league. Here's his numbers compared to Jewell's for the same time period. I can see the logic of getting a starting MLB for a (at best) WR4. AT, XL and Tmac are certainly our top 3 guys IN 2025. Certainly worth pondering.

      Training camp just started and it's already starting... https://www.facebook.com/reel/24277303321904901/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v LOL No one believes you and you have fan pages sharing this with a "Play him or trade him" headline. Oh wee mayne. This is why no front offices wanted any part of this.

      Honestly, it only makes sense if you're trying to chase being the best bad team you can be this year. The number one question we need answered this season is whether or not Bryce is our long-term franchise QB. Trading away a second year WR who was second on the team in catch percentage, first in yards per target, and who clearly outplayed your 1st round pick for a likely one year rental fill in LB is exactly the type of short sighted desperation moves that has made us the worst franchise in the league under Tepper. We gotta stop making these types of moves and just focus on building a good organization and a good roster. Lloyd is a JAG LB another bad team and awful defense is wavering on and a couple of Panthers fans are salivating over him. Oof. We just need to be patient and wait. Definitely make some calls around the league to teams deep at LB and see if there's an opportunity to add one for a late round pick. Definitely shop the waiver wire hard. The reality is that LB is almost certainly going to be a weakness for us this year. We weren't fixing our entire roster in one off-season and we're not fixing an overall weak positional group in late July.  If you trade for Lloyd LB is still a weakness and you've given up a young promising WR who could potentially help you answer the question of whether or not Bryce is that guy. That's bad football business.
