You could make this switch though if you think you can bank on adding two first round talents to bolster the 3 - 4 scheme.

Isiah Simmons from Clemson and Grant Delpit from LSU would actually be ideal for me if they made this switch.

Yeah no. 

We need O-lineman, TE, CB, S, RB... It'd be stupid to make the switch, especially with Marrone.

It's not stupid if it benefits the team. They need to figure something out on defense after the lapses they had.

You're asking for offensive lineman and tight ends in a class that features more prominent defenders on opening night.

This is how you end up missing out on players like Allen because you needed a tight end like Hockenson.

No thanks. If switching to a 3 - 4 means getting more out of Allen [Who showed outstanding pass coverage abilities at Kentucky], Jack playing inside with a promising prospect like Simmons who is an athlete like him but has actual experience at LB / S and then you have Delpit who has range and can effect the run and pass?

You take them. You don't reach for a lineman. You don't reach for a corner. You don't reach for a tight end. That's stupid. This team has enough holes as it already is. You really can't go wrong in round one. Especially on the defensive side of the football.

Now. With that said. If a guy like Andrew Thomas slips to #9. Take him. He's a franchise caliber LT. If Okudah is there at cornerback? Maybe take him over Simmons or Delpit. Either way. Tons of needs to address.
