Personally the things I look for in an ILB are tenacity, a motor and range. If you are going to get faked on PA, have the range/motor to get back on track. Teams don't run at us because our front 4 are always attacking and our LBs have been able to fill gaps based on that. Bad LBs show up on tape. Sign another vet and take a flyer on Cam Smith, Khalil Hodge or Jahlani Tavai in the late rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlesthought Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I don't mind Cam or Hodge...I don't think I've ever seen Tavai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jroc04 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) At this point, what kind of deals are these guys asking for/getting offered? Get Brown and Jernigan back on cheap 1 year deals. Draft Adderly and the defense is set to roll. Get a RB and fortify the lines in the draft and start planning a trip to Miami.

RBreezy Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 We definitely need someone stout in the middle who can stuff the run. I’m sick of seeing that fat, ugly Ewok pummel our defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to draft a DT in the first 3 rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A run stuffing DT is bad value at 25 IMO. I think picking one up is a good idea but that isn't good value at that high in the draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeezla Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) Daylon Mack bulldozing upfield with Cox could be fun. I just wish his arms were 1" longer. Edited March 26, 2019 by Jeezla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my favorite guy...but this class is loaded so that's not much of a knock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had 6.5 sacks as a freshman, and there's obviously athletic potential to go with some serious strength. He just needs to learn some actual moves, because you basically never see him rip/club/swim like Tillery or Dre'Mont, and yet he still somehow gets a consistent push. Also needs a fire lit under his butt because his motor runs on eco mode too much, but I think Cox/Peters/Doug/Schwartz could sort that out.

Run to the podium if he's still available in the 4th. Don't pick up the phone for a potential trade. Just write down Daylon Mack and sprint the card in.

Lawrence is a beast, we cannot get a player like that with our first round pick and pass it up. That would instantly become the best D-line in the NFL. Our D-line is old, Cox, Graham, Long, need replacements. No replacements inside and just Barnett outside is ugly especially since Wentz is going to suffocate the cap. I understand the perspective about getting value in the draft, but sometimes you just gotta pick the sure bet player and not play the percentages. At the end of the 1st round, you never really know who are you going to draft until 2-3 picks before yours because an excellent prospect can drop to you. That's not the best place to trade down IMO.
