How fucking brilliant and stealth would it be for Veach to have held out on plans for a 3-4 transition in 2023 so that he can accumulate talent in the draft without getting sniped. [Reply]

In a 3-4 I guess we'd be look like this on the front 7:
I hadn't seen much of this guy, but he seems like a ****ing guided missile to the ball. I don't care if he isn't a great cover guy, I want a LB to hit someone and they don't want to get up. Oldman is getting kinda teary-eyed thinking about playing the hated Raiders. [Reply]

honestly it could work well with what we have. Chris Jones was the best 3-4 RE early in his career, Nnadi at nose, Karlaftis looks like he'd be a better fit at 3-4 end. Frank Clark at ROLB and this beast Leo Chenal could work at LOLB with Bolton and Gay in middle? It could work [Reply]
Brett Veach said acquiring Leo Chenal should allow Willie Gay to play more snaps as the weak-side linebacker. Chenal projects to be a strong-side defender with Nick Bolton in the middle.

Karlaftis is a standup edge in a 3-4, he's 265, all of his scouting actually says he can play standing up. [Reply]
