And Dawson was supposed to be the most instinctive player in the draft. If he turns out are we going to sit our first round pick LB a lot of people want for a couple years?
I understand we need depth at LB. But we can get depth without burning a premium pick.
2-3 of them. Right now we have 2 base linebackers and one of those is okay in coverage.
We need a third LB. Maybe that's Dawson in base. But he's like Maualuga and Burfict. If he can keep the coverage in front of him then he's fine. but if he has to turn and run, we're in trouble. We need the guy who can turn and run.

He really can't though. We got ate up at times because he can't turn and run with them.
