[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 549458"] Besides QBs, it must be figured that WR, FS, ILB and LT may not give you much their first year. TEs expected to be pass catchers fall in with the WRs in this regard. It's a rare free safety or ILB who can step in and call signals right out of the box. Even the highest drafted OTs usually spend most or all of their first year at RT before moving over to LT in year 2. These positions in particular require multi-year planning. Besides ball carrying, D-Line has the shallowest learning curve on either side of the ball. As Trgovac is fond of saying, there's not much that's complicated in what his guys need to do. The key is having talent and the right personnel mix for each situation. In other words, these 3 tech / 5 tech swing men can be acquired as we go, unlike other positions. This is illustrated by the free agent additions on the line this year. As far as Neal goes, I was surprised McCarthy mentioned him as a 3-tech guy. He's awfully light now at 275 lbs. for that spot, especially given all those other guys who have a shot at playing there (with Daniels the one lock). He'll probably split time at 3 tech and OLB. If Perry doesn't show us more Neal could be spending more time than expected at OLB. As for who's around in 3 years...you'd hope that would be Daniels and Jones, at a minimum. Maybe Boyd. And 3 drafts and 2 free agency periods in the interim even if we don't go first round for D-Line this time around. The $100k signing bonus guy plays a different position than Hageman. The point was that adding to the D-Line will require subtraction. McCarthy has carried as few as 6 D-lineman in the past; we're at 7.5 now. So...who are you going to cut? It would have to be Worthy I suppose. [/QUOTE]
