We need to keep plugging away on the D. Our LBs still need depth IMO. We will play against 2 of the best scramblers to ever play the game and a guy looking to pull a Ryan Tannehill career turn around, we need speedy smart LBs. We have Pratt (contract year), Wilson, Bailey, ADG, Bachie, Johnston, and Jones.
Bailey and ADG haven't shaken the medical concerns they had in the draft and Bachie is coming off an ACL. Johnson and Jones are practice squad level players.
Grabbing some of these LBs that fall in the draft probably won't get a lot of media hype since we have our established starters. But they will pay dividends for years.
Or
Grabbing the stud #1 RB Breece Hall and pairing the best run game with the best pass game. A dominant run game in late season outdoor AFC North battles would be a big division factor. This kid could be a TD machine like the old days with LT and Shaun Alexander.
Breece is not in Joe Mixon’s league. With the better OL Joe will be as good as Henry or Taylor.
