Jourdan Rodrique said, knowing Evero and his tendencies that Evero may use Chinn in a hybrid role similar to Jalen Ramsey. they pretty much created a position for him and put him in a lot of different roles. 

We willl most likely use him as Buffalo did Micah Hyde or Honey Badger with every team he played for. 

[jayboogieman]

Guess Tepper is finally getting what he wanted Rivera to do a few years ago.

[LinvilleGorge]

I definitely look forward to more creative uses of Chinn. Just having him primarily play as a deep safety for the past two years has been a waste.

We’re gonna be gashed by running backs next season.

Barno, that’s the guy I forgot his name. Yea I think both of them could work really well at OLB opposite Burns. 

Based on what Jordan Rodrigue said on the pod with Julian Council, she thinks we would a “power rusher” opposite Burns since he’s more of a pure speed rusher. Barno probably backs Burns up in that role

I have to assume Brown is a DE in a 3-4.

Has to. He’s more than a body eater and not big enough for constant double teams. Maybe he can provide a little of what Hayward for PIT does.

Eh probably initially. Even when Haasan Reddick was here that happened. It will take some time and there will be some lumps but if Fitterer nails the draft that could negate some of the growing pains.

I’d say YGM at DE but I’ve lost all faith in him at this point even as a run defender 

ESPN graded YGM the 8th best edge defender in the NFL last year in run stop win rate.

YGM will be able to play the DE role in a 34, at 6'5 280lbs YGM is bigger than the majority of the DEs that play on the Rams, Packers, Chargers, Vikings, Dolphins and Seahawks - who all ran 3-4 last year.

Brandon Smith is going to be the ideal ILB for us. 6'4 240 and he has wheels while being a big boy.

Could be an even better fit at 3-4 OLB based on his size/speed combo. 

Barno is another exciting prospect at 3-4 OLB. 
 

We are going to have to beef up at iLB for this scheme so they can take on iOL and stack/shed blocks. Chinn actually has the frame (6’3” 220lbs) to make that conversion, just needs to add 15-20 lbs like TD did.

I have a feeling Brown, Burns and YGM will thrive in this defense. If we can get a true NT that fits this scheme in the draft and FA, we’re going to be really good.

Brown is 6'5 330lbs. How much larger do we need to get at the NT position?

[imminent rogaine]

Would be nice to use Brown at DE and land a big nasty NT. 
curious about Luvu. Is he ILB or, with his nose for the backfield, does he go into the olb rotation w Burns, Barno, Haynes?
