I can't debate you on Foster because as a fan I want our defense to be athletic and scary. That starts with the backers in my opinion.
We had two highly rated players in last years draft that we took and didn't play a snap. So you get three first rounders this year
I also don't get the love for Foster. He has only 7 sacks, no picks, no forced fumbles, and no fumble recoveries in his college career. Stats aren't everything, but if I'm taking a LB for a 4-3 team in the top 10, he needs to have made more big plays than that. He has questionable instincts and very much looks like a guy that slid by on his great athletic ability and the Alabama DL keeping blockers off him. Because of his instincts, I don't see him being one of the guys they leave on the field in nickel, especially since he's going to miss rookie camp and minicamps with his injury, so he's probably going to play less than half the snaps.
