Hall is in a group of 2nd round prospects who would play Edge in a 3-4 defense. Uzomah, Hall, Ojulari, White, Adebawore and Foskey are all possibilities if the Jags don't select Nolan Smith or Myles Murphy in round 1.

Those who believe the Jaguars should go back to a 4-3 base would prefer Murphy in Round 1 and play him at defensive end along with Josh Allen. Walker could play both DE and DT in this scheme depending on the situation. In this scheme, Oluakon, Muma and Lloyd would be starting linebackers. 

Personally, I believe the current roster is better suited to play the 4-3 since Walker would be much more effective playing with his hands on the ground. Baalke needs to swallow his pride and recognize that Walker is never going to be the Edge rusher he envisioned when selecting him ahead of Hutchinson. He can still become a very effective player on the defensive line commanding double-teams and opening things up for others to get sacks.

I dont think Foskey makes it to our pick.  It wouldnt surprise me if he goes in the firs.  I think he goes much higher than the rankings and the mocks.  Agree on the 4-3.  It will be interesting to see what we do in the draft.  I think Lloyd, Muma, and Walker will be much improved this year regardless of what type of defense we run.
