The interesting thing about our draft so far is that it seems we are very committed to stopping the run. The question will be how we hold up in an afc west that is better at passing than running.

Totally agree and I think this is the only scenario where I might look back and wonder if the draft was as good as it felt at the time. Right now, I'm pretty enthusiastic about the picks, even notwithstanding I'd have taken T Jones at the Cook pick and probably not gone LB at this point.
There are plenty of AFC teams that WANT to pass a LOT, including in the West. Worst scenario is we've fixed a problem that wasn't as great as imagined. The best scenario is we say "You want to be pass happy with Herbert and Burrow, cool, but they're getting far less time and your best targets aren't being locked down by a UDFA"
