Moore CB: Amani Oruwariye, Arthur Maulet LS: Taybor Pepper P: Jack Fox K: Younghoe Koo KR/PR: Victor Bolden Have fun and butcher it up fellas! * Tried making a power run team, bookend tackles. Tried to strengthen the 3-4 front, if that's going to be our principle alignment. Likely going to lose Golladay(IMO), so I signed some guys that'll help Goff make plays(Davis/Reynolds). Reynolds he's already familiar with, which helps sometimes in a new offense. Trask can get sometime behind Goff to learn/develop, maybe works out, likely a career backup but drafting him doesn't change the narrative of drafting a franchise QB early if you have to or are presented with the option. * Can't fix everything, Have to wait for some money to free up and clear contracts. My biggest miss is adding a stud at OLB/EDGE. CB Depth, a real franchise QB of the future. Maybe don't have a true #1 WR or very good depth.

Karnage84 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Personally, I'm not a big fan of this overall. What seems to be the case to me is that the team is willing to use a 3-4 because of the pieces that are on the roster and the impact that it would have in moving off of them. My understanding is that the preferred scheme is an attacking 4-3 (which really will be more of a 4-2-5). As some of the contracts start to more team friendly in cap space/dead cap, we'll start to see them shift over to that. I like Najee as a prospect but I really don't think we need to be spending our 1st overall pick on a RB. Time and again we have seen team's find guys in a variety of the rounds of the draft and even undrafted. "Goff was at his best when Todd Gurley was running wild for the Rams"... yes, very true. He also had a stout defense in place. We need a lot more than just a RB to make this team competitive. If we flash forward to 2 years from now, Goff has played to his prior level and Holmes has built up the team where we're just a stud RB away from being a playoff contender, I totally get it. We're far, far from that position and we just spent a 2nd rounder on Swift. We have Kerryon on the roster, who has looked good but struggled with health. I'm good with adding another guy in the draft but not with our 1st rounder. If you aren't convinced that Trask can develop and could be our QBOTF, I wouldn't bother wasting a draft pick on him. We have Goff, we have Chase and we have Blough. If all three of those guys are inept, there's always next year's draft. This is a long term tear down and rebuild. Just because you think he can develop doesn't mean that he will... but why waste a pick on someone that you don't think can potentially start in the league? I used to be open to Reynolds but our new Lions fans/Rams aficionado's have turned me off of the idea. Goff might be familiar with him but he also didn't really target him. Chargers WR Mike Williams could be a cap casualty (2022 FA, $15M cap hit in 2021 with $0 dead cap). He's a guy that would be familiar with Lynn's offense. He might be a better fit than someone like Reynolds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be a better fit than someone like Reynolds. Well... Idk, I've been around football a lot an attacking 4-3 vs base 4-3 has to do with the front 7's individual responsibility more than alignments. Front seven read and react more in a base. Attacking 4-3 you'll have the front 7 filling gaps. You'll want heavy LB's in a attacking set that can shed blocks and fill gaps against linemen. A 4-2-5 is more of a subpack at the NFL level more than a base defense. Teams usually are rolling in different "type" of DB's depending on down, and personnel. (Heavy S, Coverage S, CB's.) Seems to be more of a coverage package... At like the highschool level, the 4-2-5 is used but like, (Back in my day) they had a single saftey deep and two up in the box. So, basically it was a small teams heavy run defense, lol, Which hey it was highschool! Linemen barely breaking 200lbs. You know... lol. There's other little nuisances depending on coach of how you like you're CB's to tackle in run support, How well the right end holds up on the run. But literally the playbooks themselves are basically the same. Edited February 3, 2021 by SimbaWho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sllim Pickens Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I am not a fan of RB in round 1, but other than that dont hate the final outcome. I know we can't fix all holes this year but this is a good start. Take that roster into 2022 with likely a top 5 pick and another 1st and we could be in good shape in two years.

NFL_Fan Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 instead of harris id be open to double down on o line or go pass rush. but im guessing you put into consideration the new staff wants to run the ball..or should I say WILL run the ball in the offense. i like michael carter too. but i feel a 4-5 rd guy can do similar things but idk..I jusst dont trust Alabama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFL_Fan Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 what do you guys think about Brian Hill? on falcons last year FA this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk if he's a terrible option. He'll certainly be on the cheaper side. I just want a physical runner to foil Swift well. Harris provided that and then some. You got what I was trying to do. An injury could happen and the run game isn't likely to take a huge hit in this situation. Between the RB's on the team, maybe something like 20 some rushing TDs & 20 some passing TD could happen. Thought that might give a weaker defense/WR group a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I don't love Najee or really any RB in the first (especially with all of our needs), he isn't a one trick pony as he does have good hands. You could arguably play Swift and Harris at the same time, flexing Swift into the slot. Dammit. You might be winning me over on this one.
