Yep, we outbid several teams that wanted him. If Mitch King makes this team, it'll be as our 5th DT.

I think he could also be a DE in some packages. We may not keep a lot of LB's since the majority of ours are simply journeymen anyway. We may opt to keep an extra DE/DT over a 6th/7th LB. Dunbar/Herring/Ingram can play all 3 spots.

Who could also play DE King or Johnson?

Come to think of it both could slide outside in certain packages (like our 3-4 or the 3-3-5). They have good quickness. Both are kinda short but their burst looks good.

King has some technique issues, but his motor is undeniable...

Johnson seems like a solid defensive tackle...

After tonight, I'm thinking five (5) defensive ends and five (5) defensive tackles...

Martez Wilson, should he mature could be your inside linebacker with Vilma's coverage skills put outside at SLB...

Shanle and Casillas can't seem to establish whose the starter...

I'm leaning toward 10 D-linemen too but that's gonna leave LB or safety a lil thin.

I like Martez to stay outside. Dunbar looks like a solid back-up to Vilma and Wilson blitzing off the edge looks lethal. It looks like its starting to click for him.

We're gonna cut some good players.

That hasn't happened often under these circumstances (respected, proven people making tough decisions) in the history of this franchise...

Arrington is the most frustrating of the cuts; if he'd bring the effort every play and toughen up...damn
