We need LB. Our S's seem solid at this point and Corner is respectable. This team needs to get healthy or we aren't going to "win now" anyway...

If healthy I don't think the Pats can keep up with a Mahomes-led offense...

I mean...we haven't really tried. Lets look at all the capital spent on off-ball LBs since DJ (I assume you're not including Hali, Houston or Ford in this and mean strictly off-ball guys not edge players): 2006: None 2007: None 2008: None 2009: None So right away we have a 4 year stretch where we put literally NOTHING at the position. Not even a 7th round pick. 2010: Maybe you squint and say Cameron Sheffield at pick 142; a converted DE. 2011: Gabe Miller - pick 140 2012: None 2013: Nico Johnson - pick 99 2014: None 2015: Ramik Wilson -Pick 118 and DJ Alexander at 172 2016: None 2017: Ukeme Eligwe - pick 183 2018: DoD - Pick 100 In 14 years --- FOURTEEN YEARS -- we've drafted seven guys who might be classified as off-ball linebackers and even that includes DJ Alexander and Cam Sheffield who were always seen as some kind of hybrid/edge sort of players. But give ya all 7 just to be sporting; one every other year. And in that lot we have a 3rd rounder (dead back of the round) two 4th rounders and four 5th rounders. I mean shit, since 2005 we've spent a 3rd and a 7th on a kicker and a punter. Even the trades are 5th rounders in 2 seasons for Ragland and stuff like that; nominal assets. Now to some degree it's explained by the time we spent in a 3-4 over that period AND the presence of DJ. You've never felt the need to prioritize the position. But it's still worth pointing out that we've struggled there because we haven't tried - rightly or wrongly, we simply haven't made an effort at that position. We've drafted better than half that lot in the 5th round and spent a 5th rounder on Ragland. Value the position at roughly the 5th round and you probably shouldn't be surprised by a pittance of a return. It's past time to change that thinking.

Since we finally have a first round pick this year, any good LBers in the draft?

Is it possible that the perp has trained a flock of pelicans to come in during the night and scoop up water in their large bills and fly off with it?
