Roquan will probably go before our pick, but if he is there you take him.

Just need to add one Lineman in FA to free this pick up.

As others have mentioned, we play in the nickle 70% of the time, so if you take out a LB if you want 4 DL or you take out a DL if you want 3 DL.

Then there are 3rd downs where we put 4 DEs out there or 3 DEs and 1 LB on the line of scrimmage.

So, I'm not sure it really matters much if the team has a base of 3/4 or 4/3. And, as others have mentioned, the secondary scheme matters more.

Now, when we talk about run defense, we might improve with a base 3/4. Not sure.

With our Linebackers right now it might not work cause in the 3-4 you have to have ones that know how to shoot the gap.

Burfict is really the only one i know does right now. Would love to get Zac Brown in here in FA, this would help big time.
