TEs and RBs out of the backfield used to kill this defense on third downs, not anymore.
2021 no LB drafted, Bynes allowed to walk in FA because of the growth of Logan Wilson
2022 no LB drafted
2023 no LB drafted, Pratt re-signed and with no LB drafted, I'm guessing that they're feeling pretty good about getting Wilson re-signed.
While they didn't need to fix WR and CB, they may have just improved the depth at those two groups and finished off drafting for those two positions for years.
That's why I'm surprised we didn't draft a LB. Considering that whole draft class is set to be free agents next year. Wilson, ADG, and Bailey. And we haven't drafted one since.
