If we go 3-4 who are our Ends?

[AU-panther]

So if we do go more of a 3-4 alignment who do we line up at end?

We can all assume Short will be one but who is the other?  

Before someone says Butler, I just went back and watched some tape from the end of last year and they had Butler playing the nose.

There were times Cox and Love were the ends.  Love isn't resigned.

What's a bigger need, upgrading Cox, Addison, or Irvin?

I'm actually a little surprised we haven't resigned Love.

Maybe there is truth to what Verge is saying about interior D-line being a possibility early.

A player such as Jerry Tillery https://www.nfl.com/prospects/jerry-tillery?id=32195449-4c18-9606-c437-604f05433c81

College interior D-lineman who could be a 3-4 end?

Either way it seems like if they are really planning on going 3-4 then a true 3-4 type end is a huge need right now that we are all overlooking.

They are looking at Dramont Jones from OSU for an 3/4 DE IMO.  

[LinvilleGorge]

Short and...

3-4 DE will be a problem for us for sure.

[CBDellinger]

On the roster?  Horton.  

All i got

Demarcus Christmas from FSU is another guy in this draft.  And Gerald Willis.  I actually like Christmas for a 2 gap look better and can be had later in the draft. 

But damn we need a average FA 3-4 DE if we are going this route.  Bailey would do.

Although he could play the position.

The job of the ends in a 3-4, is to take up blocks, which Butler is capable of. Yes, I know how people feel about him. 

With whom is currently on the roster...Short and Butler

Well then.  That certainly puts a damper on things.

Tell that to JJ Watt and Aaron Donald.

I'm sure he will be resigned for the vet minimum after the draft if we still need a spot.  

[Moo Daeng]

There are different flavors of 3-4.

Somebody on the squad will line upon the ends!
