OK, with 3.5 hours to go until the tag deadline, I am gonna try & power through to rest of the pisition groups. Finishing up the 3rd Tier (Depth only) is the LB Group.

C. Analysis
Wilson & Pratt are here and seem licked in as starters despite underwhelming 2023 seasons after signing new deals last year. The FO seemed to point the finger for the poor LB play at the safeties for poor communication & lack of LB confidence in the calls. The starters are locked in.
Pratt does have a zero dead cap figure. I doubt he goes anywhere this year, but next year if the year is poor again or we need to cut salary? Regardless, all our meaninful LB depth are FAs (Harper played 1 snap on D). And we could use an upgrade in dynacism and wallop. On the other hand, all 3 guys have performed fairly well when called upon. I would not mind bringing any of them back, ADG the most. But it needs to be close to the min, given our other holes.
I doubt we play in the FA LB market beyond our own guys. Day 3 seems like a value LB could happen.
