Drew signs all we have left is the 34 or 43 debate left.

And Coach Payton said there will be four linebackers...

By going to this alignment with the rumored Fairley signing, you can see we don't look as terribly thin as before...

We also minimize the needs for our defense in the upcoming 2016 draft - allowing us more flexibility and not having to tip in our hand in our selections...

Just hoping Fairley can, wait for it, be all he can be...

On paper; we could have a pretty decent defense. Not including the line...

Should Nick Fairley be signed, he could still play a 3-tech, but as a 3-4 DE. Wouldn't that be interesting?!?

Note: The Graphic is confusing but the "S" lined up over the 3-tech DE and the Jack LBer would be the Sam LBer

Assuming Fairley signs, our needs are:

Wide Receiver
Guard
Nose Tackle
Safety
Cornerback

I am not overly excited by this off season so far. I see some improvements but drafting again in the top 20 of the 2017 looks likely
