3-4 Defensive Linemen

calbear · 2013-03-11T21:02:09-07:00

I think there are actually lots of options to draft players that can fit into our defense. Since we run a 3-4, our needs are NT and DE. I actually wouldn't mind drafting one from each of the below categories. I would prefer to address the secondary (CB/FS) early in the draft and then one of these players. Ideally Xavier Rhodes (CB), Jesse Williams (NT)/Datone Jones (DE). Now that we have Boldin, I think WR is less of a need. I think addressing the D-Line (NT/DE), OLB, CB, FS, K, C, OG, OT are now our biggest needs. NT Lotulelei, Star Williams, Jesse Hankins, Johnathan Jenkins, John DE Floyd, Sharrif Ansah, Ziggy Richardson, Sheldon Werner, Bjoern Short, Kawann Williams, Sylvester Hunt, Margus Gholston, William Jenkins, Brandon Jones, Datone OLB/DE Jordan, Dion Mingo, Barkevious Moore, Damontre

Neither Bjoern Werner or Brandon Jenkins are 3-4 DEs. At best, they're 3-4 linebackers.
