I believe we are taking a LB with our first pick

We've been getting sliced and diced and cooked and fried over the middle by TE's and RB's for quite some time. It's our glaring weakness and other teams know it !

Sure our Oline has issues, there's no doubt. But we can't continue the bleeding we've been doing with our inability to cover the middle. And tackle and shed blocks and be in position and so on for that matter.

We don't need more 4th and 5th and 6th round LBers, we've got a half dozen backup's now. We need impact players at that position group.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the starting LBs on the roster at this moment are Preston Brown, Nick Vigil, and Jordan Evans. The three depth players behind them are Malik Jefferson, Hardy Nickerson, and... Chris Worley?

They desperately need two new LBs. They don't HAVE to be in the first round, but I really hope at least one comes on Day 2 at the latest. The other just needs to be able to push Nickerson off the roster.
