That's a damn good summary.

I don't think so. Gregg Williams rotates Dline players to keep them fresh. He made an exception for Aaron Donald. He might if he gets Myles Garrett. Hes unlikely to do so for Ogbah I think.

thx... this is nice to see the latest change. I was trying to buy up some Hughes shares before this posted without a ton of luck. I wonder if Mack will flip back later.

I just snatched him up off waivers for nothing. With the addition of Myles Garret, and Danny Shelton turning it up at NT, I think Ogbah is a great stash as I only see him improving from his rookie season. One has to think those two on the outside will wreak havoc for QBS and in heavy sack leagues, I'll take flyers on ogbah at the end of my roster.

Don't sleep on Ogunjobi either! He will earn early snaps rotating on the inside of that D-line

That line is stacked with athletes. If Williams can coach them up, they SHOULD be the best in the league.

Noticed that in my league (hosted on CBS) Clowney is now listed as DL and Mack hasn't been changed to LB, still a DL.
Hoping that Clowney stays DL since I traded for him last year.

Robert Quinn just switched to LB on Flea.

Deforest Buckner played 48% of last year's snaps at 3 tech. I'm thinking it's only a matter of time before hes designated a DT in the 4-3. I'm picking him up and hoping to turn my luck around as I've suffered from both the Mack and Donald redesignation. I also think hes got the talent to be top 3 fantasy producer at the DT position as Donald has been.

It's difficult to project how they will line up in their 4-3 since Armstead, Buckner and Thomas all can end up playing LEO, 3-tech or base end. Here are two articles that through their different takes on the situation illustrate how we're all just guessing at this stage:

There's definitely uncertainty but I think it's Armstead and buckner inside on nickel packages and dial at nose with buckner at 3 Tech in the base. Thomas is too small for the inside and buckners struggles again't the run don't suit him at the nose...only time will tell but I find my successes in idp revolve around me being proactive on my gut feelings before the changes happen.

Kossack, I agree that it's good to be out in front. I have Buckner in a DT-weighted league and am anticipating his move. It's not a given at this point, but you have to look at what they have and make an informed decision. That said, if they truly intend to change and stick to the 4-3, the Niners will need to continue to draft 4-3 D-linemen, because the 2015-16 picks they made suggest they were building the 3-4 base. We'll see what that means beyond 2017.

New to DLF. Are most of you in MFL? If so, is it common to use the "change player position" function? Several years ago I had 9 DLs on my roster and 10 LBs (65 man rosters). Five DEs got changed to LBs leaving me with 4 and 15 respectively. Fouled my whole draft for that year up. The following year we started changing player positions back if the owner wanted to do that. Thoughts?
