I think they put LB there out of habit. I don't see LB as a big need for this team. They could stand to improve but with Wilson looking like a young star, Pratt playing decently and ADG and Bailey each getting some starting experience and playing decent (not to mention Bachie playing okay as well) I see LB as a pretty good position. If there's a superstar available, I'd think about it but there are much bigger needs in my opinion.
The Oline is in a weird place because the entire right side of the line could stand to be replaced but how much of that needs to be new prospects? I wonder if the coaches see Carman at RT and Smith at RG (or vice versa) as the eventual future. I imagine they'd at least get more than their rookie years to find out. To me, the biggest need is Center. That Iowa center would be a dream come true pick for me. Then address RG and RT if the value is there.
CB also is up there. Awuzie is a star but I've heard some chatter that he could opt out of his contract? I looked on Spotrac and it says there is an out after this year but that usually is just for the team. I haven't seen player opt outs in the NFL before. That is more of an MLB thing. But if he can, then he likely will because he's way underpaid for his production. And if that occurs, then we're in dire need of CBs.
A lot of our needs will depend on free agency. I think we'll franchise Bates at worst, so S Isn't an immediate need for us and I hope we re-sign Spain and look into Resigning Reiff if the price is right as well. I would also like Apple back and Waynes cut. So we do need at least 1 corner and 2 if Awuzie is able to opt out of his contract. And then, we have 3 DTs set to his free agency too. We'll see what they do there as well.
