Pretty much. Pioli loved to channel Belichick in his offseason moves and draft picks. Only when insanely awesome things fell into his lap (Eric Berry and Justin Houston... all of Kuharich's good draft picks) did he look smart. If he ever ventured off on his own and went against the grain, it usually resulted in fail.
With the initial move to the 3-4, he absolutely had to have been thinking about the Richard Seymour pick. Which is hilarious, because if he really understood the 3-4 he would have made it a point to acquire the NT FIRST. BJ Raji was sitting right there.
