We usually use a two-backer, nickel set, so how much would he even see the field with us just having signed Minter and obviously having Burfict?
I can understand why Hill has been cautious after losing the playoff game for us two seasons ago, so I'm hoping that he'll be back to his powerhouse, downhill running style that made him so good, minus the fumbles.
I think OJ Howard could be a game-changer for us. Some people have us going receiver, but OJ is basically a big receiver, and think how much easier life will be on a receiver opposite of AJ with him taking all of the double-coverage with Eifert and OJ just causing defenses nightmares.
DE is a possibility but pass rushers are a dime a dozen. There's some quality ones that we can get after the first round or even the first few rounds.
Nice post Brad, plus Foster is not a game changing LB or anything either.
To me it would be a wasted pick on a small Linebacker that lowers his head far to often when tackling that cannot
cause turnovers or rush the passer. If we go LB in the first, give me Hassan Reddick who can rush the passer and
cover TE's.
Completely agree on OJ Howard, and if we do draft him it will be a sign that we are going to use our TE's more in
two TE sets which would be less predictable and would help the running game.
DE is deep, should be lots of good ones around in the 2nd.
