Sorry if this was beaten elsewhere already but i didnt see it really adressed in a personnel standpoint.

Brooks posted the below article and made some good points on how we will see the position begin to evolve from a manning standpoint. (Last section of the article)

TLDR he says teams will value speed, reduce the number of big men, offense and defense, and likely begin stashing big quick receivers and quick tackling machines.

This made me think going forward of the consequences in the run game/D line as well as drafting in later rounds.

First WRs we currently have about six WR that could make the team but none of them other than chark really standout as bigger but all of them have good run blocking skills, so just by our run first philosophy we are ahead of the curve for the new rule.

Looking at our LB and later draft picks, a lot of them are smaller but faster and good open space tacklers that are agile and able to get off blocks, or what we think of as people who can develop like that. In the future we may start seeing telvin smith clones who arent as good but great for kickoffs.

Finally the Lines.
Defensive and Offensive line injury rates are usually high through the season for any team. It'll make it even more difficult to replace a lost player with less lineman on gameday as well as keeping fatigue low for defensive lineman. It will also make versatile linemen like shatley and wells see a boon in their value despite overall being average players. 

Thoughts?
