I'm wondering and its interesting after letting DQ go, can big ole kruger move inside, where he did an excellent job at stuffing the run, use mingo and draft Mack for the outside lbs and ad shear next to kruger? just thinking that would be interesting having Kruger and shear up the middle and MIngo and Mack from the outside. Just thinking, is this a possibility?

It will never happen, Inside backer and 3-4 OLB are just vastly different positions. I think you could however take a 4-3 OLB and move him inside without a lot of the issues.

I just dont feel we will take any defensive player at 4. If Mosely slides maybe with our 2nd first rounder, then we may look to fill a void there but I think we have a FA plan in place already. No idea what it is but I doubt we would have emptied out our interior without some thought put into it.

IMO, none of our LB'ers other than Eubanks and Carder can play ILB. Which that basically translates to two needed backs that can cover in space, and can gobble up run plays... two holes to fill.

good question!

I asked the same one in the 4-3/3-4 thread

much smarter people than me explained why it wouldn't work

Given our new situation, If we dont take bridgewater because he is gone then this is the perfect draft to trade down a few times to number 10 or 12 and then draft CJ Mosely. We could easily pick up some second round picks by moving up and address a ton of needs with great players in this draft.
