That could have been an ok starting 3 LBs.
And then they could have gotten a LB in Rd 4 like they did with Carter or gone with someone else to groom for a year while Pratt was on his final year under contract.
I would have much preferred an IOL or pass rushing DT in Rd 2 instead of a LB, let alone taking two LBs.
Coaches must have seen a much bigger concern/problem with Pratt than I think existed to have brought in basically 3 new LBs and then let Pratt go.

I'm still worried about the interior pass rush and IOL blocking.

I liked Pratt, but I was tired of watching him get drug down the field on every tackle while he was trying to rip the ball out instead of putting the guy on the ground.

I saw Shemar give Dylan a little trouble too, but he handled our big NT Slaton, Dylan is a strong sumbitch. I like his feet too and he has powerful hands.

No doubt Sled. You can see when Knight gets a shot at you he puts you on the ground quick.

Ask Tahj who he popped a little late yesterday that set off a bit of a scrum.
