Von Miller

Flip that round so we're the beneficiaries of San Frans mistake .

I'm really beginning to lean towards us getting JJ Watts at 8. I know it's early but he can do everything!

 

To be honest, I haven't paid a lot of attention to JJ Watt since he is a 4-3 player, but I did see some Wisconsin games and he looked pretty solid. I've been more impressed with Cameron Jordan, however. I don't think either would be a good fit for the Niners, but I think either would probably be a good pick for the Titans.

 

Actually, since Fangio's system is 2 gap, Watt would be perfect for you guys. Fangio's system is almost an exact replica of Belichick's system, and he loves his DE to be tall, close to 300 pounds (like Watt). But, you guys don't really need DE, everything I've seen of Justin Smith has been positive. Same goes for Jordan, these guys are all being projected as 3-4 DE.

 

Fair enough. What I meant was more that I want a passrusher and that these guys wouldn't be rushing the passer much in a 3-4. I would rather draft a 3-4 OLB/passrusher (Quinn is my top choice). I think a passrush will help the secondary out a lot since Dbs won't be having to cover receivers for as long, but CB is a huge need too. I like Devon House in the 2nd or 3rd round. If the Niners could somehow get Quinn/Ponder/House in the first few rounds, I'd be happy. I think they will have to trade up to get Ponder though. I don't think he will fall to the 2nd round.

Justin Smith is one of my favorite players on the team. I'm not sold on the rest of the dline (not even Franklin), but I think CB and OLB are much bigger needs on defense.

 

Niners seem to be in the same boat as the Titans. Both have new coaches with huge needs at QB and DL.

 

Yeah, both are in similar situations. It sucks for both Harbaugh and Munchak that this cba is going on. They will have less time to implement their playbooks and they have fewer options toward getting the pieces they want for their offenses.

 

You are serious? A guy had 3 sacks and that is indicative to you that we will rush the OLBs a lot more?

Greg Williams typically runs a more aggressive defense than what we are used to here since he left. His linebackers had like 5 or 6 sacks all year. Vilma had 4 of those obviously on blitzes.

So to sum up your post we should draft Von miller because we might change our defense to suit him? Maybe, could be?

And what is so damn impressive about miller anyway. He had 10.5 sacks and 20 tfl. Kerrigan had 2 more sacks and 6 more TFL at Purdue last year. He is 2 inches taller and 20 lbs heavier than Miller and is a pure DE not a hybrid who may or may not fit what we want to do.

I would take 5-6 DEs over Miller.

 

Are you trying to compare Von Miller to Takeo Spikes?
