[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 605434, member: 9033"] The real need in the 3-4 is that you need to have linemen who demand a double team. Daniels isn't huge but he demands a double team. Raji is huge but gets routinely (by routinely I mean 90+%) pushed around by a single guard. Sheer size doesn't help because the olinemen are also really big. I don't mean to imply that you're saying Raji is the answer (maybe you are but that's not what this is about), I'm just trying to point out that a lot of the 3-4 is about the attitude of the players and that's tough to project sometimes. Raji has all the skills you could ever want in a 3-4 NT but he doesn't have the desire to do the dirty work of a 3-4 lineman. I'm one of the biggest advocates of taking a dlinemen in the first round (I think the team should take a dlinemen every year in the first round, outside of QB it's the position that sees the biggest drop-off between round 1 and 2) but I wonder at times if the guys taken in the first round don't sometimes feel like they should be doing more when put in a 3-4. Obviously that's not always the case but I wonder if Raji didn't expect to be rushing the passer and single-gapping all the time as a first round guy and then kind of lost interest when his main job was much more unheralded.
