TE or Interior OL.

Would absolutely love to get those 2 cornerstone type guys that gives us 3-4, 4-3 versatility.

I'm not sure Ansah can be a stand up guy, I'm not sure he can be a 3-4 DE either. Hell, I'm not even sure he can be a 4-3 DE 90% of the time.

It would be nice to get a guy who could be a 3-4 edge rusher and either play 4-3 DE or 4-3 OLB.
And I would love a 4-3 OLB that can cover, and maybe swap inside to a 3-4 ILB too.
But a 4-3 DT & 3-4 DE would be very nice too.
1 more upgrade at interior O-line would certainly be a blessing.
We've needed a RB forever, can't complain if they go that way.
TE wasn't even really a need when they took Ebron, but now we have nothing. Except a coach who came from seeing Gronk play every day.

Funny. When we were shitty it usually felt easy to point to one or two glaring holes. Now that we've been a legitimate playoff contender for about 5 years, it feels like theres mire holes than ever, all across the board.

This year feels worse because defense scheme is changing. Opened a lot of new needs, and the defense was already not good.

This is an interesting video, this is not the first time I have seen Watt comparisons for Bryan. I think this is a disservice to him, even if he becomes a multi time pro bowler that is a comparison he will never live up to.

One of the most telling things from this video is he says Bryan could not play in a 3-4. I thought with his physical abilities he would still make a solid 3-4 DE. If that is not the case I do not think he is a great fit as we need dline with flexibility. I would love for Vea to fall to 20. He would make the defensive transition so much easier.

Stomp said:

I agree with most of what he said. That being said we are probably using a 1 technique DT even in our 4-3 sets going forward so that makes Vea a better fit for us. I dont see us going back to the vanilla 4-3 we had with Austin. The fact that our DB group is getting so good gives us a lot of options in the front 7. Again injuries could change that because we are not too deep but we cross that bridge when we come to it.
