I am intrigued by the 4-3 under as a hybrid front. Keep in mind that Monte Kiffin architected the 4-3 under and taught the scheme to Pete Carroll, who now runs the scheme in Seattle. I would LOVE to see the Seattle scheme make its way to KC (one of the reasons I pushed for Gus Bradley in KC). Kiffin only converted to the Tampa 2 because of Dungy -- it was basically merging Kiffin's 4-3 Under with a heavy cover 2 that featured a deep MLB (Dungy learned that from Bud Carson).
I am intrigued by Kiffin if he goes back to his roots. If I'm not mistaken, he's more and more slipped into the 4-3 Under. And if he gets innovative, listens to his protege Carroll, and runs a 4-3 Under with Houston playing as an Elephant rusher? If we land Dorsey and nab Kiffin, I bet that's exactly the defense we would run.

Awesome post.
Why wouldn't we focus on a younger DC that is familiar with the scheme, though? Then again, you know Monte is in no danger of leaving for a head coaching gig. A young guy could bolt after a few years. Of course, Kiffin could die, so what do I know?
My problem with the 4-3 is that we will absolutely need at least one more linebacker for it. That might push more for addressing QB with our second pick and taking someone like Jarvis Jones at #1.
