Who are the keepers on defense?

It is possible McClain and Fua can be solid starters in the future. IMHO our biggest question mark right now for the long term is OLB. We were planning on Davis being here for a while, and it doesn't look like that will be the case. Still could use a DT and CB also.

Sherrod Martin, and Captain are the only starters I would like to see replaced. I like Sherrod as a cover safety, but the guy doesn't like contact at all.

Our rookie DT's will be good to go under a NFL weight program, so I'm not worried about them. The only other need on Defense is the Will LB position.

If we can't get Matt Kalil in the draft, I think OLB should be our first pick.

I'd like to move Martin to CB and get a true FS, draft OLB in the first. With Edwards back and a full offseason I think we'd be far better on D then.

Zack Brown from UNC, possibly trade down to get him cause he's projected to be a late-mid first rounder.

He's the guy I want, his value could rise before the draft depending on so many variables and I don't really buy into "reaching" thing.

Yeah he's rated the top OLB, in this year's draft so he could be a top 15 pick, I really like this guy great instincts, and awareness. We can't depend on Davis anymore really sad to see get injured again, but we have to move on.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Good game so far.  Solid trench battles, two young well built defenses, and my 2 fave coaches.  Stafford is really damn good.  SEA OL is overperforming.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      Okay then. To me that means Russell Wilson was Coryell. Because I see the proposition completely in the Russell Wilson punt/pass put it up for grabs mold. Count on the receiver to catch it or knock it down.    And the reason I thought that was the intent with Legette is the abysmal downfield game from 2023. As in, there was barely any.   I look at it as if… the result of a deep attempt isn’t as important as the opponent understanding they have to defend it. So I was all for some 50/50s. Coryell, Walsh whoever.  I do favor the Coryell approach personally but also very much value versatility, it doesn’t have to be strict. Just make the defense defend the whole field, however you do it. It has to include downfield throws.

      Sold, or in the process of being sold. Could be either way. Consider this for a second... Last season, our defensive coordinator steered what many have called the worst defense in NFL history.  Canales would absolutely have been justified in firing him, and no one would have blamed him if he had.  But what did he do? He gave Evero another chance to come back and prove he could be better. Does that tell us something about Canales? I think it does. Now apply that to Bryce 😕
