Example:
I'd love to get Andrew Thomas but perhaps it's more wise to trade back to be able to get both Tristan Wirfs and either Kenneth Murray or Isaiah Simmons.
I checked out Wirfs... not really a fan of his. I do say get OLine, but I don't think Wirfs is the guy we would need. I don't mind getting more picks though. Just disagree with who you have us getting. Wirfs strikes me as a Jake Fisher type OT.
I don't see why we don't go Thomas, trade back into the 1st and grab Kindley (I hope he is there in 2 but seriously doubt it), if we don't trade back into the 1st and stay put in the 2nd and Kindley is gone I would want us to take Ben Bredeson with our 2nd pick.
I know this thread is about LBer. However I am also intrigued with Tyler Biadasz to go with this rebuild at OLine. If they were to pan out that would be Williams, Kindley, Biadasz, Hopkins and Thomas. RG would still be an issue unless Price can get it together (which I am doubting at this point).
Then in the 4th round, get Joe Bachie from Michigan State, tackling machine, decent in coverage and just an all around good player.

1. Tristan Wirfs
1. Kenneth Murray/Isaiah Simmons
2. Jacob Eason
Then drafted a corner in round 3 and signed a guard from FA we could really be trending upward
As I said above, I don't like the guys you are going for. Murray is a hard hitter, but he is also out of position at times. Simmons seems more of a 3-4 LBer guy to me. More effective as a pass rusher and stopping the run. I don't mind Jacob Eason, but without a good OLine, just see him getting beat up and not being as effective.

Why draft a QB in the 1st when they will be set up for failure? They can get Thomas in Round 1 and a Kindley/Bredeson in Round 2.
Trading Green would have enabled them to get a QB of their choice at 1a and then a solid OT at 1b. They can then grab Kindley/Bredeson in Round 2. Of course, the draft is months away and lots can and will happen until then but you get the point.
I don't think Finley will be successful. I like the fact that they are going to give him a shot, but, I have no confidence in that line to give him the time he needs. I hope I'm wrong.
Love the fact you are mentioning Kindley/Bredeson for round 2. I hope they go Thomas in round 1. I am sure they will grab a QB though, which kills me that some fans have the presence of mind to forgo a QB and take the OLine guys.
You win some games with a good QB, you win a lot of games with a good OLine.
