Thers quite a few nt types, heavy dt's still on the board. Low gravity guy. Tall guys. 2 gap fir plugs. You name it. Its on the board.

Its the bonus of running a 3-4. 4-3 teams want john randle types. Aaron Donald clones. & Many 3-4 teams want those same guys as an olber. Maybe a de, but they are smallush for downlinemen in a 3-4.
So, every year. The run suffer, massive dt's get pigeon holed as rotational, 2 down players.
The steelers have made great defenses out of these "nobody wants em" players.
If you have tackling machine lbers. And 3 down lineman that require double teams. Suddenly that 3 man front is a clogged mosh pit with the 4 lbers feasting on ez tackles... And it wears down an o'line. Constantly battling 350lbers that sink low and become a tree stump that cant be removed.

Theres one such sink low dr. "The godfather" Dontay Corleone. Obvious as the nickname is. He likely a 6-7th round pick. And no center guard double team is going to move him off his spot.

Fl state has a nt, Darrel Jackson. 6-5.5. 320. Got some quickness. Could be a 3-4 de. Likly on the board in 4-5th. Tex tech, mississipi, Iowa state, Georgia, tex a&m and 3 ir 4 other schools. All sending massive bodies to the nfl this year... And nobody but a few 3-4 teams want the body type.

Flores can scheme the pass rush with his db's & lbers. Especially if the 3 d linemen on the field all need a double team. It is the natural progression to the hybrid safety blitz D that is suddenly en-vogue.

Be the 1st on your block? To have a d'line trio that requires full attention of all 5 OL + a chip or te... Oh the delayed blitzing i can imagine, and im no coach. Redmond, Banks, Ingram-Dawkins.

That is a stout trio. 1000lbs and 20 feet tall via 3 players. Run at me please!
Add a couple more. Wait & see. Big Mac could very well last to pick 49. If not. Theres a couple very similar. Christan Miller, Georgia. Dom Orange, Iowa state. Tree stumps. Fire hydrants set in concrete.

Nobody has ever really done such a thing before. Put a lineup of 3 nt's, 2 gappers on the field at same time. Not with the hybrid safety tweener backing it.

This would be a very good season to try it. See if it can be schemed to success. The viking coming in to this draft. They had next to nothing for down linemen... And in this draft. Its unusually stockpiled with extra large, non pass rusher d-linemen.

Neccesity being the mother of invention, plus the vikings having a mad scientist as the DC?

I say- OH HELL YEAH!
Why not us for a change. Being the trend setter.
