The trenches are taken care of in this mock and as long as our biggest weakness in the Linebacking core can come down and punish teams for dumping the ball off we will be damn tough.
At first i was like man, need a LB here, need a LB here but the weakness can be coached up. Haslett was terrible.
Great mock OSUfan.
Thanks for the props and could not agree more. The linebackers we have actually have the physical traits we should be looking for in terms of speed and athleticism. They are guys, that with the proper coaching, should excel in coverage just has not been the case thus far. What makes me point to coaching is that the coverage weakness is across the board not one or two players. So I as well feel this can be corrected with a coaching change.
As I stated there were many times in this draft that I wanted to select a LB but in doing so it would have been passing on greater value elsewhere to overdraft at the LB position.
