To me it would be a wasted pick on a small Linebacker that lowers his head far to often when tackling that cannot
cause turnovers or rush the passer. If we go LB in the first, give me Hassan Reddick who can rush the passer and
cover TE's.

Completely agree on OJ Howard, and if we do draft him it will be a sign that we are going to use our TE's more in
two TE sets which would be less predictable and would help the running game.

DE is deep, should be lots of good ones around in the 2nd.

The comparison people have for Foster is Bobby Wagner, I can see it and if that is what we get he is a game changer. People keep talking about linebackers that rush, except 4-3 linebackers don't really rush especially middle linebackers. Last year, ironically, Bobby Wagner lead all middle linebackers with 4.5 sacks. Defensive lineman in a 4-3 rush, linebackers cover and stop the run. In our defense specifically we blitz safeties and corners more than linebackers.

I'm not a fan of MLB at 9, but Foster really is a good talent. He is as good as Ragland or Mosley coming out.
