There is talk of a switch to a 3-4 with the hiring of Daronte Jones as Commanders Defensive Coordinator.
Not that teams are clear about their base presnap.
But a good tackling Free Safety and bulky DTs who can play Nose Concept is key. Ergo, Caleb Downs and Lee Hunter. Another Incredible Bulk in Damonic Williams. Big Corner in Domani Jackson. Romello Height an outside linebacker sized Edge. Hunter and Height from Texas Tech, a good D-Line school.
With the 3-4, the OLB body type is more acceptable. The bulky run stopping edges are not as essential. Can they stop the run with smaller Edges in the 3-4? The bulky dudes are a bit rarer than the OLBs. You are more likely to stock up on those type Edges than the Beastly Behemoths.
Of course, you could plug the Beastly Behemoths in at End in a 3-4. Dual threat with the Beast and the OLB blitz.
But if you can tell what this Staff is going to do, you must have your Psychic PhD.
I took two North Dakota State Guys in Bryce Lance and Cole Payton. Lance is a big receiver. Payton is a big QB with several explosive run plays to his credit on his CV.
