There are things I like and things I don't like about Ted Thompson.

Going for two athletic DBs in the first two rounds I like; "Settling" for Matthews, Barrington, etc. until the Ryan pick, I concur with that too.

The ILB crop this year was kind of blah ... and trusting Sam Barrington, Carl Bradford and others

ILB is going to become one of the most difficult positions to fill with a single player the way the league is going. It is few and far between where you find a player that has the size to take on OL and FB in the run game, and have the speed and agility to cover todays TEs in the passing game. more and more we will be seeing bigger SS playing ILB on passing downs on traditional ILB will only be on the field when a RB is in the backfield..

A powerful ILB in front of the like Barrington to battle the run first, while the DB is on the back end in coverage/speed role.

I'm thinkin the nickel defense evolves into our base defense. 3 DL, 3 LB, 1SS, 2 CB and 2 DB's that can play anywhere off the LOS. I think the pattern was made for Woodson 5 years ago. Hyde did it somewhat successfully since then. The two DBs will cover the backs and TEs with the only true ILB being a run stuffing thumper. Expect Burnett to attack the run more.
