I think too much is being made of this. Defense in general is a lower priority right now from the perspective of getting the most out of Trevor. There will definitely be some acquisitions in the draft and in FA, and Neilsen will have some ability to come in and help Baalke or whomever rank the players that might be available in terms of how bad we want them, but Neilsen is a pro and he understands that he's got to get the most out of the players we have, at least for the first season. He's not going to pound the table with "Campbell is not my guy!" when he's never seen Campbell in practice or tried to teach him. He will work with what he has, try to teach, watch practice, and he may end up running more zone than he did last year.
