Sounds like Stephone Anthony to me; I'd bring him back because of familiarity with our system...

Think we're done at LBer unless we're upgrading over what we have, which is pretty good; all LBers being healthy, Robertson is probably the only one who's roster spot is vulnerable...

JP, thanks for keeping this up to date!

RDE (2) 92 - Marcus Davenport, 96 - Carl Granderson, 57 - Noah Spence (FA 2020), 00 - Gus Cumberlander (UDFA 2020)

I'd like to add another veteran pass rusher to the mix. Jimmy G/Cousins had too much time to go through their progressions.

Davenport is good when he plays but his inability to stay healthy late has cost us. Guys behind him are still unknowns.

Well, it's my belief that's what Baun is supposed to bring - Consider this 3-4/Nascar front:

RDE 92 - Marcus Davenport, 98 - Sheldon Rankins

NT 93 - David Onyemata, 90 - Malcolm Brown

LDE 94 - Cam Jordan, 99 - Shy Tuttle

ROLB 00 - Zach Baun (R3P10, #74), 91 - Trey Hendrickson

RILB 56 - DeMario Davis, 52 - Craig Robertson

LILB (2) 54 - Kiko Alonso, 55 - Kaden Elliss

LOLB (2) 47 - Alex Anzalone

Can see situation where we show our base/nickel, then at some point switching to this personnel package to keep the opponent off-balance...

Comparable to boxer suddenly switching to southpaw...

K Major · 04-27-2020, 11:38 AM

WLB (2) 56 - DeMario Davis, 52 - Craig Robertson, 42 - Chase Hansen

MLB (2) 54 - Kiko Alonso, 55 - Kaden Elliss, 00 - Joe Bachie (UDFA 2020)

SLB (2) 47 - Alex Anzalone, 00 - Zach Baun (R3P10, #74), 50 - Andrew Dowell (RFC 2020)

On paper, solid core of backers ^^^^^^ however I'm a bit skeptical that these guys (minus Demario) will stay healthy for the stretch run.

I know we drafted Zack but he's still a rookie. IMO we still don't have a suitable replacement for AJ Klein as of yet. Solid vets are golden once post season play begins.

Thoughts?

Believe when play starts, Anzalone will kick inside at the MIKE and Kiko Alonso will be your SAM, with Baun learning from him...

Anzalone's health, re-signing status will be a topic for evaluation this coming season...
