This isn't an insane idea, but there would be a substancial defensive transition period. Carter has no spot in the 3-4 and he was the key cog on the DL the last two seasons. Taylor could be an OLB, and Monty is the ideal 3-4 NT. Maybe Golston could handle an end spot, and Daniels certainly could, but then the LBs are an issue. Fletch is adaptable, Rocky would be a sunk cost, Blades could play inside, but outside of Jason Taylor, no one else could handle a OLB spot.

So lets say we took Tyson Jackson in the first to play behind Daniels for a year. We've: 1) Ignored the offensive line in the first two rounds 2) Still are incredibly thin at the LB position.

It's an interesting idea, but not something that's practical for right now. Of course, neither are Blache's current schemes, but maybe I'm just being a hater.
