Well here's my thoughts on our picks...

1) Khalil Mack - Love this. Best player available and he fills a need. Couldn't have made a better pick there.

2) Derek Carr - Good pick. Tremendous value at 36, and it'll be nice to let him sit and learn a year or two depending on how schaub does. Has the look of a good QB

3) Gabe Jackson - Good pick. I personally think you can never have too much depth in the trenches. A big old SEC lineman will do nothing but beef up our front unit.

4) Justin Ellis - Okay. Big boy who should clog up the middle and stop the run game. But he's 346 lbs? He's gotta cut some of that lol.

4) Keith McGill - Okay pick. He's a huge corner and he's physical. Plays a lot of strong press coverage. Time will tell with this one.

7) TJ Carrie - Kind of interesting. There were plenty of better CB's available when we took him, I think because of his return ability. Could be our next primary returner??

7) Shelby Harris - A weird pick. Dude didn't even play football last year because he was kicked off the team for conduct detrimental. Wtf? Probably could have been UDFA

7) Jonathan Dowling - Idk anything about this guy but we need some safety depth for sure so good need pick there.

I wonder if drafting that HUGE DT is part of a transition to 3-4?  We drafted Mack and now have a surplus of good LBs, while we're a little weaker on the DT side of things (two good DEs though).  To put our strongest players on the field, I think a 3-4 is a better system.

Didn't we run a 3-4 back in the romanowski days?

We've done a few different looks over the years.  4-3 has been more prominent and we've had more success with it, but we have a different set of players and a defensive coordinator who has shown willingness to run both schemes.  Only time will tell.

Yea my fault was the 4-3 not 3-4.


Idk y I was 3-4 lol I honestly can't recall us running a 3-4
