I see a lot discussion about people wanting the Seahawks to draft D lineman who looked to me to be traditional 4-3 DE's or 3-Tech's.
I have a rudimentary understanding of the 3-4 but it seems we need a true nose tackle (Siaki Ika) and a couple of 300+ lb guys for the DE's. This is the run-stopping beef that allows the OLB's to be small and fast enough to cover as well as rush the passer.
There are a ton of players I love in this draft like Calijah Kancey or Lukas Van Ness that just don't seem to fit the traditional 3-4. They would be useful on third downs to rush from the inside but do we want to draft a situational pass rusher in the first round?
Like I said I don't have a ton of knowledge on this. I am just throwing it out there for discussion and hopefully I can learn some things.
