But we could target a guy like Murray from Oklahoma?
Jennings from Bama or Harrison from OSU?

They have the size but do any of them play in a traditional 43?

I think, if we make some changes on coach staff, we could see a change in our defensive philosophy.
A coach that better utilizes the back 7 or perhaps moves a guy like Allen all around from standing end, to hand down, to rush backer...
Maybe Myles Jack is best suited for some style of 34?

a.  Myles Jack easily weighs 240 pounds, not 225.  I stood face to face with him and shook his hand just a few months ago and I feel confident in that appraisal. He's taller than Bobby Wagner and easily within 5 pounds of him - and that's the prototype in this defensive scheme. 

b.  People were livid here because Poz was too slow in coverage in a scheme that demanded the MLB cover TEs and receivers at times. Now the faster guy is too small.  *shrug*

c.  Myles' size probably contributes to his run fit issues when he's effectively blocked out of plays at times, but I think his inability to play with gap discipline and his tendency to be easily duped my pre-snap movement and misdirection are much greater liabilities.  He doesn't play smart IMO.
