Re: the all encompassing 'discuss all things offseason' thread sponsored by Paintrain

Lamarr Houston is interesting. Obviously, Oakland has the cap space to beat any offer, but the weird thing about Houston is that over his four years they've moved him progressively wider in terms of alignment. He played this entire season in a two point stance, and often in a 9 tech. That would translate to an OLB in our system.

Physically, I think he can handle playing over the tackle, but I doubt he can two-gap against the run. So he's likely not a base defense guy here. But he's probably the best available solution if Orakpo walks. Not an elite pass rusher, but a disruptive talent who will disappear for stretches.
