Spot on.

If one of the Devins is available at 11 and is not taken, it will be a travesty unless Allen, Bosa or Q. Williams somehow falls. If the LB position isn't fixed, throw away another season because our LB situation is beyond scheming around.
True, the LB situation HAS to be addressed, same as OT. I do think the Devins are getting overhyped though. Neither are the best tacklers in this Draft at LB and i truly believe what we need is some good tackling Linebackers with good instincts for Tem to work with. Tem has a very good resume, i bet he is a much better coach than Haslett and he will coach these guys into making sure they are in the right position to shut down those dump offs.
