In the 4-3 scenario would you be rushing both olb's? I don't see how Ware or Tippett could play as off ball linebackers. They're basically Defensive Ends.

I guess that is true, might want to shuffle a bit more for that, maybe pick a linebacker still.

 

[Hasbro]

Williams as Defensive Tackle helps with being able to switch from 3-4 to 4-3 if necessary, so

Him and Culp go right after another and each would be in the arguably the best 3-4 NT ever.

Schmidt played a few years at olb and was an all pro there. You could slide him over and use Tippett on the other side while Ware rotates in at DE.

Final 4 rounds lads. let's have some fun.

Largely considered the player that transformed the position to the modern, receiving tight end that we know today.

Good call actually, didn't realize that he actually played OLB, would make sense to sub in there

I think even Gonzo would say that's Sharpe.

Nah, Shannon Sharpe blocked haha

@Hasbro to confirm

 

[Elvis P]

Marshall Faulk was traded for a 2 and a 5.

Tagliabue was at a Parcells practice. Bill is ripping a guy a new one. Paul says, "How can you see that far away"? Parcells pulls out a list of 10 players. He says, "I made a list of 10 guys to rip a new one before practice".

EDIT: Ooops missed that Michael Farkas took Bud Grant. I missed him picked the first time LOL.

Still great pick for him. I chose my coaches early cause my coaches knowledge in NFL is limited so I identified my targets and reached for them. But I certainly forgot about Bud Grant cause like I mentioned before editing I never think of him in NFL terms, only as a Blue Bomber great.

Back in the 50's and 60's level of play wasn't noticeably different between NFL and CFL, in fact the last game between a CFL team and an NFL team (well AFL) was Hamilton Tiger-Cats vs Buffalo Bill's in 1961. Ti-Cats would win that game 38-21. It was exhibition game though obviously, so there's that.

 

[VanIslander]

Edit: nvm

 

[TMLegend]

Bud Grant is already picked.

Although I still think you maybe crazy.

If this draft was held a year ago Russell Wilson may have been drafted.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Monte Kiffin was my fallback if I couldn't get Dungy as D coordinator (cause they basically innovated the Tampa 2 together). Fun fact I learned when looking at coaches is that Kiffin as a player played for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers for 8 games in 1965.

Also played for a team in Toronto that was a minor league team, that I think was eventually taken over (and folded) by Alan Eagleson, which likely surprises no one.

 

[Hasbro]

Rain City became the Kiffin Koaching Korner!

Highly unlikely.

 

[Hasbro]

Highly unlikely.

He's 22nd on the HOF monitor which doesn't include players who started before 1955 (ie. Jom Otto) so yeah. very doubtful.
