Fantasy Draft

I want to play my best unit as much as possible. What team doesn't?
Why do 3WR sets scare Ds into nickel sets?
Because of the potential mismatch that the third wide receiver presents if a linebacker were to cover them.
"I said, 'I need someone who's going to want to get on the roller coaster with me knowing that it's not always going to be fun,'" -Paul DePodesta -
so Foster, being explosive, fast, etc etc etc... lets the base defense set be
more versatile........ I keep watching film of Foster, he has instincts that
other players just don't have. He is amazing. and he can back up his instincts
with serious quickness, strength and skill.

And that is exactly what a player like Foster can do like no other LB out there. Plus it's also under my contention that we go with BPA, not position chasing. If he is still there (a huge IF), take him @#12. I might even consider trading up for this guy. Combine him with Garrett and who we already have and this is instantly a D to recon with. Add a S and CB the second day and then you have instant Browns fans filling seats in NE Ohio.

Foster runs a 4.6 40 time - according to the college. You look up and down the league at third receivers and they don't run a 4.6 40 time. Hawkins and Gabriel for a start. Tedd Ginn. Tyler Lockett. Tyreek Hill. You want Foster covering those guys?
I could get behind the thinking that you can remove a *safety* for a nickel back because Foster can play both the OLB/SS role in those downs potentially, but suggesting he's as effective as a straight corner back is just crazy.

Now we understand why BB is a big fan of using zone coverages.
He never asked LBers Bruschi or Vrabel to cover WRs or RBs. He asked them to cover a hook zone or flats and close on the football thrown to any opponent in that area. In the process, we'd occasionally see Bruschi in big games beating faster athletes to the football because of his schematic positioning and instincts.

Then use a DB... last I looked at a base 4-3 there were still 4 out there.

Even Bill gets caught... Ninkovich victimized on AtL's last TD, but still you have to play to your strengths.

That works if your defense employs safeties with man coverage capabilities, but most safeties are used in deep zone coverage on pass plays. That's why they are called safeties, they are the last line of defense against a pass attack. You put them in man-coverage at your own risk.

I think Ogbah is going to be elated to have Garrett getting all the offensive plan attention by our opponents this year. He was coming along nicely by the end of 2016.
But if Thomas is the BPA? Got to take him. Fresh legs for edge rushers every play throughout the game is not a bad thing.

Sounds fine in theory...sort of. But the Browns have other pressing needs.

Don't see anything wrong with the end there. That's a phenomenal draft. Who went 1 and 2 if it was neither Myles nor Mitch?
