I actually like Cameron Sample and Osa Odighizuwa just as much as Onwuzurike. In the later rounds I like Kenny Randall, Marquiss Spencer, Mustafa Johnson and Michael Clemons. In a 3-4 set, the DE's have to be good against the run before anything else. It's nice if they can rush the passer, but that job is mainly left to the OLB's and since we now have a Defensive Coordinator from Baltimore where they constantly blitz, I'm expecting a lot of that here. If we re-sign Smoot, I can see him and Costin having a lot of success as 3-4 DE's. We'd need to add some rotational players for depth though.

In a 34 you have 4 LBs

In a 43 you have only 3 LBs

That is the difference. Put them where you want them, under, over, it doesn’t matter. That’s the difference.
