re: Official 2013 RMD Thread - In the Books!

Write ups on my last two picks:

Naashon Hughes, OLB/S



This kid is a big Texas fan. He was offered a grayshirt, and even though he had offers from some pretty big schools, he accepted it. Well, come December, a scholly opened up, and he received it. At 6'4" 215 lbs, Hughes has the size that I wanted as my OLB. However, watching his tape, I realized that this kid can be in coverage very easily. So I decided to try something with my defense. Depending on how the rest of the draft unfolds, I will use him as an OLB/SS hybrid. In a sense, the defense will resemble a form of the 46. It will come from a base 34, with the SS being the additional "man in the box". Versatility is what I need to run this thing, and that is exactly what I have in just about all of the athletes on my defense so far.

Defense:
DE: Randy Gregory
DT: Kenneth Clark
DT/DE:
SAM: Takkarist McKinley
MIKE: Jon Reschke
TED: Kendell Beckwith
WILL:
SS: Naashon Hughes
FS: Marcell Harris
CB: Vernon Hargreaves III
CB: Brendan Langley

Now I can still change it up a bit depending on who I draft the rest of the way. Beckwith for instance is probably out of place. I would rather him in the SAM spot, but for now he is there. Naashon is labeled in the "SS" spot, but if I can get a certain couple of other players, he would probably fit into the WILL spot.
