What does the free agent LB crop look like this year? I doubt we bring in a top LB to replace Pratt, this front office already has a ton on their plate with Chase, Hendrickson, and Higgins. Then there is the IOL and finding another pass rusher opposite Trey for the DLine. That’s a LOT to cover. Do we go with Wilson and ADG? Wilson and Njongmeta with ADG in a possible Golden’s “viper” role? Add a late round LB for depth behind those guys?

I doubt backer is a first round, or even an early round possibility, because backer has become such a diminished role. 

I haven't looked, but if there was a stud hybrid safety/backer, I could see it, but that's still a long shot in my crippled opinion because we need interior defensive linemen to stop the run and rush the passer, and then a secondary to cover.

I'd also rather get a free agent backer just because the NFL is an entirely different game than it is in college and we don't want to waste years waiting on a backer to get put to speed, so to speak.
