I have been thinking about the draft and our Defense. Brown returns, draft Graham if he is there, trade up in the second, draft Deone Walker

 

that stops the running game

gotta figure out what's happening with the defense this off-season. evero staying? 3-4 staying?

those are important questions that nobody on this board has an answer for yet, and that needs to be answered before we can really start speculating (i realize i am saying this while actively running and posting mock drafts )

i think mason graham is a phenomenal athlete, but less of a NT than what i think we'd need if we're staying a 34 front. i think he makes sense if we're returning to a 4-3, but that's a MASSIVE if regardless of how much the fandom thinks it should come back and will fix all of our woes

i also love deone walker, and my argument is basically the exact opposite of the above. 34, let's go... clogs the middle, let's the LBs play more freely and we could use an upgrade over tuttle. 43? he could still be fit in, but it's probably not the greatest of fits

this is basically just the bpa argument. if you're just taking the best athlete, system be damned, you end up with jeremy chinn who never finds a role on the roster, wastes his rookie contract and then we wave goodbye and watch them get picked up by a system who can actually use them properly

Oh yes, it all depends on who is running the D.

If they resign Evero, what I said stands. If I was Evero, I would do my best to stay, this team is starting to improve, and possibly a good Defensive draft. We all know that we don’t have the talent on defense.

but with a new DC will need to see what they prefer.
