    Pretty sure they ran a 4-3 when Taylor was there and morphed to a 4-2-5 in recent years.

    Retaining funds to resign these guys is definitely an important thing to keep in mind. That being said, I go cheaper on the WR pickup with Kevin Ogletree (to play slot, Gordon 1 Little 2). Also either Schwartz or Levitre, not both (let the current Gs compete for a spot). On Defense we have to sign Anthony Spencer. I'd also like to see LaRon Landry and Brent Grimes.

    Assuming we don't trade down: Draft a OLB first round. DE depth 4th round (still think they're goin QB 3rd round: Tyler Bray or Logan Thomas)

    Spencer is a good call. Forgot about him.

    Not sure Little is a #2. Think he's more suited to the slot. That's part of the reason I'm not high on them bringing in Greg Jennings. He's not a true #1 but flourishes when they put him in the slot.

    DE- Taylor
    NT- Rubin, Hughes
    DE- Winn

    OLB- Spencer
    ILB- Jackson
    ILB- JMJ
    OLB- Sheard / Rookie

    I think this starting front 7 will be fine. LB depth is the only thing that will scare me. People seem to forget that NFL players are world class athletes. Part of being a great player is adapting and developing.

    I'm assuming Gocong will be in the mix at LB.
  • buckeyes_woowee
    Gocong slipped my mind. I also think JMJ will be a better fit in the 3-4.

    Tank Carder will tweet about wanting to be in the mix

    They are world class athletes playing against other world class athletes. Don't forget that.

    Former Chargers WR & Cleveland native, Chis Chambers chimes in on the Norv Turner hire....

    Brent Sobleski ‏@brentsobleski Horton said 34. Again, projected: DE - Taylor, NT - Rubin, DE - Winn/Rucker, Jack - Sheard, Buck - JMJ - Mike - DQwell, Will - No. 6 pick

    BR can you explain this to S&L? :D
  • SportsAndLady
    You don't want BR explaining it, it would most likely be wrong.
  • se-alum
    Is Robertson gone? I thought he played very well last year.

    I understand that. My point is that most players can fit in multiple schemes.
  • Crimson streak
    I actually think we have a better personnel for the 3-4 then the 4-3. Taylor and Winn are more suited for the 3-4 and rubin can move to his natural position at NT. the best part is there is a huge need for an pass rushing olb, this year happens to have big time pass rushing olb's in this draft in mingo, and jones. 1 should be there at 6. You also need a mlb that is a tackling machine and we have that in d jack. This biggest question mark will be how Sheard adjusts.

    There's no chance Byrd gets away. Franchise tag for a safety is going to be under $7 mil even if they don't work out an extension.

    Unfortunate because he would be #1 on my wish list.

    Actually our d line and lb's fit the 3-4 more than the 4-3 outside of Sheard.
  • zach24oz
    I believe JMJ played OLB when he was at Nevada if I'm not mistaken...DQ and Rubin already have experience in the 3-4 as do Haden and Ward. Just need Phil and Sheard to get it...But I think the transition will be better than what people think. As mentioned a lot of times already, there are a lot of OLB/DEs in this class so they should be able to get a couple guys. I like Werner, Moore and if they trade back a little bit I like Sam Montgomery out of LSU. And maybe Tyran Matheiu in the 4th or 5th? How early would you take the Honeybadger?

    I wouldn't take Mathieu at all, and it has nothing to do with his love of weed. He's not good in coverage.
  • zach24oz
    Couldn't be any worse than Buster Skrine...he actually produced when he played at LSU. I'm sure not right away but at some point I think he could be pretty decent in the secondary.

    move him to a safety or let him develop into a nickel corner. you could steal him in the 6th round and if he fails.. special teams superstar. it's a gamble worth taking if it's a late enough round.
