Brown and Jackson pretty much protypical NTs. Brown started at NT last 2 seasons in 3-4. Jackson has only played NT in 3-4 in college. Brown could play any 3-4 line position but his quickness is suited for end. Our OLB are all best suited for 3-4 

 

 

That's gonna be a fun hole to dig out of if we can him and end up back in a 4-3 base. 

Honestly, I would be far less worried about that in terms of those IDL guys than I would our EDGE guys.

I think he's a good player, but I see him as a rotational pass rushing specialist in a 4-3 front. He's just too small to hold up against the run being an every down player and I don't know that he has the juice or the length to move outside to a 3-4 DE. We'll see. I'm definitely curious to see how Evero is going to use him but his track record utilizing tweener types isn't exactly comforting.

He already played in a 3 man front and quite well….but go off on his true fit.

DLew is a massive human and probably our best lineman at the moment..Wharton was still a solid pickup and yea we massively overpaid for his services but that's just the reality when your a team with 7 consecutive losing seasons.  

Once the games count he'll show up. We might not get our $$ worth (top 10- 15) but he's undoubtedly a couple steps up from Tuttle. Him, Brown+Brown+ Robinson should make a very solid lineup in theory.

The Chiefs are primarily a 4-3 scheme under Spagnuolo, but they run a decent amount of 3 man front nickel formations.

I'm definitely not sure of how we're gonna use him in Evero's scheme but I predict that if we try to play him at NT he's gonna get bulldozed all over the field and it won't be his fault. It would just be an awful misusage of him.

I feel like Princely and Scourton can be 4-3 DEs

I noticed a lot of 4-3 fronts last night. They've played a lot of that this preseason for some reason. But when they do line up in 4-3 base Evero will call a delayed blitz almost every time and it never works. His zone defense is absolute garbage and gives up 1st downs every time. His best defense is a 4 man front with man coverage. Even then they cannot stop the run. Its just a bad defense altogether.

Maybe, but I'm not sure. Scourton has been heavy enough but his production dipped big time when he bulked up to the necessary size in college, he also lacks the length. Princely has more length but a considerably less bulk. They were both considered 3-4 OLBs as prospects for a reason.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.

      It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
