We need to start drafting a different type of LB or sign one in free agency.

I think the thumper with a high football IQ is what Marvin likes in his LB's.  We've even seen them try 3-4 OLB's at SAM like Lawson and Harrison.  Malik Jefferson is a kid that hopefully develops that fits that athletic cover LB mold.  

I'll say Brown was better than I anticipated in coverage.  He just doesn't have the tools to play man, but at least he had a good feel for zone coverage and could catch the ball.
