Redskins pick 4th in the draft

[DBUCHANON101]

Switching to the 3-4 creates needs on the defensive side of the ball, id love to see us land McClain to be the young leader of the defense but i know OT will be the priority heading into the draft.

Suddenly my note last month about McLain possibly being a sleeper pick at #4 for the Skins doesn't seem as crazy...still I think it's unlikely they will take him so high

That is why I hate the move of forcing a switch to 3-4, when our defense is fine. The defensive coaching was more the problem.
Switching to 3-4 will create a lot more needs than we already have.
Stick with the 4-3 base, but switch to 3-4 on occasion to throw off our opponents. Give them more to prepare for.
Then draft lineman.
Not much to ask.

I think that is more likely what we're going to do, at least this year. I really don't see us going to a 3-4 permanently quite yet.
