Thread: Drafting a MLB?

What I've wanted to do for a while, hoped to do with Vaughn, was draft a prototypical MLB on Day One, start him at Sam either his first or second year, then have him play there, D. J. at Mike, Gold at Will until we have another slot to devote to linebackers. In a perfect world I'd want four or five, a couple dedicated speedy Wills, two or three Mikes, and a Sam or two, a few of whom would be young developing players.

D.J. would stay at Mike; I think it's ultimately where he belongs once he adjusts, as he enters his prime, and I AM kinda sick of always moving him around and don't think it's fair to him. The problem is we need two of him, one at Sam and one at Mike, so the solution is to get another one, just like we need to get a huge powerful NT. If we draft a GOOD Mike we can be reasonably certain he can play Sam as well, and sooner, and D.J. can stay where he is while the other guy plays and learns for when he becomes the Mike and someone takes his spot. We might even end up with someone else like D.J., who can play all three spots very well, which solves the looming problem of Golds departure.

we need DT's. i think we can plug in niko for a year. and address MLB next year

I think we can draft defensive tackles and linebackers both this year. See signature below.
