And of course you can't run the Fangio defense without two solid safeties.
It will be interesting to see what we do with Trey extension and Ossai re-signing. I'm not sure Pratt fits in this defense. Can Murphy hold up as a 3-4 DE? Kris Jenkins could really flourish.
I sure like this hire. We do need to acquire personnel to run his defense. I need to look at the prospect list again and keep an eye on the Jihaad Campbell type of LBs and smaller EDGE prospects for the second round. I still want Kenneth Grant in first round.
I think that is a little too much change in a short time brother. We would probably have to trade Trey and Pratt and do a lot more if we were
to sniff a 3-4 base. Like you say, bring in a true Nose and a couple pass rushing OLB's. Kenneth Grant is also my favorite pick for us at 17 and
I think he can be a true Nose in a 3-4 but this is a tall ask in one offseason.
