The switch to a 3-4 defense

Where could Foskey fit in a 3-4. He seemed to be in the doghouse for all of his time here. Is he a better fit for Staley than he was for DA?

At the very least, he can be a backup OLB and ST guy. He's under contract on a rookie deal, we shouldn't be in a rush to get rid of him. All of our players are essentially getting to start with a clean slate.

I think with the depth of this years draft at NT/DT, I would ship all DTs not named Ridgeway and Bresee out with trades for draft capital to 4-3 teams.

Without signing anyone and just extending Young, we start with the front 7 below.

LOLB: Foskey/Grandy/Young
LDE: Cam
NT: Ridgeway
RDE: Bresee
ROLB: Young/Grandy/Foskey

ILB: DD
ILB: Werner

Then we upgrade from that.
