I would then be able to mix up my defense with the base personnel.

34 would have Jackson, Powe and Poe, left to right on the line, Hali, 3rd rounder, DJ, and Houston, left to right at LB.

Drop Hali on the line at RDE, move Jackson inside to DT in a 43 front.

Working like that wouldn't allow the offense to make playcalls based on personnel packages.

While I still hold out hope that we draft Geno, if we don't the only other player I really want in the first round is Ansah. You plug him into the system that you are describing and you have even more versatility.

As well as ASmith protects the ball and chews up the clock, with our new defensive personel+Ansah in your scheme and we could be looking at the top rated defense in the league in a year or two.
