There has been a lot of talk about him up my way as a guy to compete with Cooper Rush & eventually replace Dak.

I could be wrong but I see him getting selected on Day 2 only because of his ACL injury.
Before Carr I would have drafted him with our second round pick quickly. Now…we’ve put chips in on Carr. I’d rather see them get someone to help him succeed.

Now, I hope we go DL/LB with pick 1. Then, one of the top three TEs will be there at 41.

I only have one LB on my "mock" with 1st round grades and that's Jack Campbell from Iowa.

Who do you have?

Honestly, I’m not qualified enough to offer a name for LB. If I was going to look I’d start with the best/most talented SEC linebackers on my board (showing my bias). But I’ve not delved deep enough. It’s more an idea of getting a pass rush or line stuffing player on D being our first need.

We’ve thrown safety’s or CBs in the run stuffing/blitz support role a lot. We’ve had trouble with drafting the “LB” position for a while now. That’s always bothered me about Payton. They were Either drafting guys that didn’t fit the scheme we ran or focusing on large players.

Fortunately, Unlike the bad luck we’ve had getting WRs from other teams, we’ve done great getting LBs from other teams (jets!).

You think you know, but you don’t know...and you never will! Coach Jim Mora
