Chiefs sign Zach Thomas

[Direckshun]

Our front seven could use Raji and still needs quite a bit of help at OLB.

RDE: McBride, Hali
NT: Raji, Edwards
Undertackle: Dorsey, Boone
LDE: Tank, Boone

OLB: Robertson?, Hali?
ILB: Thomas, Beisel
ILB: Johnson,
OLB: Vrabel

Move McBride to backup UT, Johnston to backup RE Hali to LE, Tank to backup NT and Vrable to RE you might have something for the 4-3 DL.

They're going to be a hybrid team there are going to be guys who have roles in both schemes and some guys who only play in 1...I seriously doubt Vrabel would be on the field in any 4-3 looks.

Noooo no no no no no.

Your D line is way too small.

Tank is small for a NT. He's "only" 300. He's athletic and strong enough to be a DE. McBride is a perfect example of a 3-4 DE. He may flourish. Boone may work out at DE, too.

Hali is more questionable. He is a tweener in this system, and so is Johnston, who probably won't survive cuts this year because he doesn't fit.

I'm going to throw it out there so take it for what its worth... but McBride said on facebook hes going to be an OLB in our 3-4 so thats why I'm assuming he would be in the Matt Roth role...

But you really think Vrable-Dorsey-Raji-Hali is too small? that seems about right to me... besides maybe Vrable but we don't have many other options...

That makes no sense. He was one of the few 3-4 DE's we had.

Hes actually not really tall enough to be a 3-4 DE and most are heavier than him too... I still think DE is his best place though since hes a DE/DT tweener..

That just sounds like a really horrible idea.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeird. Turk said that?

Hm.

He seems to be tailor-made for DE.

I personally think we only have one true NT on this team, Ron Edwards. Boone and McBride seem like true DEs in the 3-4. Tank and Dorsey seem like tweener undertackles, but I think Tank could work out at DE. Dorsey I think would be a disaster at DE; he needs to do what he does inside on passing downs.

Hali and Johnston seem lost. Hali might work at OLB or DE, but it doesn't work. Johnston will likely be cut.

We need at least one quick OLB and another true NT in this Draft.
