Yeah if the idea is to run stunts, and constantly switch up fronts to the get natural overloads or simulated pressures with 4 rushers I am not mad about that Edit: that would actually be the perfect thing to use Hoect for if that's the plan

Traditional 0-tech NT (Ted Washington era) isn't looked to for pass rush. They are "two gappers" , in charge of defending two rushing lanes and effectively are trying to get double teamed every down so the other linemen are all 1 on 1. Now that has fallen out of favor as pass rushing becomes a priority over run defense but typically a 1-tech attacks the gap between Center and Guard and typically gets the double team by virtue of the fact that they have the shortest path to QB and collapse the pocket What I've heard from people who've crunched take is that Walker tends to do a little slide to pick the gap he likes. I don't think that's intrinsically bad but it means that he's not dedicated to clogging lanes to help the others

Keon Coleman is so slow he just got to the draft podiun

At this point, take Bond. What do you have to lose?

Beane trying to corner the market

Well one, is there anyone on this board who is going to go "Oh no, not Dane Jackson!" If he gets cut? Two, if he's here for safety that makes a lot more sense

He's played Safety too? Nice, let's get one in the can

As much as there are questions marks about the picks if you told me Monday that in four rounds Beane would have: -The odds on favorite for CB2 -some raw players to challenge AJE and DaQuan for starting roles -a backup to Ed Oliver to compete against Carter I'd have been reasonably happy

I mean I'd prefer that to Christian Wilkins. I'd prefer Josh's testicles intact thank you very much

As much as we have legitimate issues with the ceiling of AJE and DaQuan I am very happy that the team has them as spots to beat for Jackson and Walker. Both look like they could be monsters and if they are that defensive line is going to be insane, but we don't have to force them

Hairston gets his college buddy

I was honestly thinking about that in the top 3 picks. DaQuan is one of the few options that would shake free enough cap space for the sundry transactions all teams need it cut during camp. But a 4th? Whose knock is that his technique needs a ton of work? I think DQJ survives

I mean ultimately nothing but I don't think it's a stretch that Beane has his list that he's ticking off

A giant 1 tech to sit a year behind DaQuan? If we are nit picking here I don't know what to do

Honestly I'm amazed we was that low. What's the catch?
