I think the Devin Lloyd pick really makes a ton of sense if we remain in a 3-4. He's a better pass rusher than Chaisson, he could play ILB or OLB because he's also a very good coverage guy. The question tho is, do you put Walker as a DE or an OLB in a 3-4? Or do you rotate him around as well with Lloyd? I feel a 4-3 may be easier for the rookies to learn their positions this year but if they can get ahold of the 3-4 scheme it could be dynamic. I just wonder how they use Lloyd and Walker. Muma and Foye are both too good to just be depth players imo.

When they picked Muma, I started to wonder the same about long-term prospect at either formation. I don't think any of our NT are Vince Wilfork or Jerry Ball types that are 3-4 exclusive; The way we darfted this year really opens the door to either fluid formation or a re-brand back to 4-3 depending on how the next year or two progress. Not suggesting that we're heading that way, but it's good to have options.

But hoo boy I could imagine them lining Walker at end and Lloyd at OLB on the passing downs and that pass rush could wreak havoc. Just so long as we're not trying that garbage Gus brought with him I'm fine with what they're doing.

This D is gonna be fun
