LB isn't a premium position in a 4-3, and we play nickel more than a base 4-3. We've got two well paid starters, two 3rd rounders, and a well paid backup, and we're supposed to throw a Top 10 pick at the position, too?
What in the world makes Foster this can't miss prospect? He's undersized, his instincts are terrible, has concussion and shoulder issues, and had a melt down at the combine after numerous poor interviews. On top of it, he has 7 sacks, no picks, no forced fumbles, and no fumble recoveries in college. He doesn't make enough big plays to justify a Top 10 pick, bottom line.
All good points, nice post.
I would still sign Minter to a longer deal. Don't like this 1 year stuff.
