Looking at our run defense

[Chasing6]

The only small linebacker is Overshown and he was at 235 last season

So we have LB's that can take on a block and make a tackle at the same time?

I don't think so. They have a hard time just making the tackle when they are unblocked.

Actually aside from a couple lost contains on some toss plays last night, the run defense was not really that bad.

Quinnen Williams is a good run stuffer but he is an elite pass rusher. Had 12 sacks a couple years ago which is an incredible number for a DT.

Now it is more about fa, would of loved him, but funds are starting to add up

They can do whatever they want to do. There are also some good safeties in the draft.

Shamar James is probably 225 with weights in his pockets and he's been starting in the middle. Logan Wilson gives James time to develop now.

It will be much harder to run against this interior. The caveat is Eberflus is still calling the shots, he needs to be better as well. I expect we see better tackling from Wilson

Wilson, Marist both have real size at the position. Yes, James is more of a will lb who should be rotating with Overshown. Really want Murray gone

Having no day 2 picks, would like to see them trade back and acquire another pick if a trade presents itself. Good safety class, but last time they took a high safety was Roy Williams years ago

You will have a better interior, where Wilson actually had good instincts at the position where both Murray James have little to speak of
