Well with this Charlie Anderson signing its apparent that basically the entire front 7 of our defense is being scrapped for guys who at least have the experience of playing in a 3-4.
Once Pace signs its hard to believe that JT isnt the odd man out here on the outside. For one thing we can probably get some value in return for him, and Porter is a guy who has done well in a 3-4 before.
Basically if we can get something for JT and hopefully unload Crowder on someone, the only player who it seems will stick around is Holliday who can play DE in this system.
Initially while watching all of these signings I was thinking the draft wouldnt be so heavy defensively for us, but now that I think about it, alot of these guys are plug ins who can run the system for now while we find the right guys in the draft to take over. Im sure Bill will load up on front 7 and OLinemen(later rounds). Look for one or two of these guys to be impact and be able to start right away(Goff kid from Vandy maybe?).
In the meantime he is signing up every player he knows can play the 3-4 system to try and make us competative until he is able to have enough drafts to hand pick the players he wants on his front 7. Maybe Chris Long is the pick after all, even though as I said earlier, I thought all these signings made it seem hard to think he would go that direction.
Personally I still think franchise QB must be addressed NOW, and with Anderson out of the mix(at least agreed to a deal with Cleveland), Ryan is the only option to fix that problem this season. We can still load up on D and OL with the rest of our picks. Plus we can get more picks if we are able to trade Taylor.
