Ian Gold visits again (4-WhoDat)

I don\'t think that Gold\'s size is too much of an issue. It depends on how you scheme for you MLB. Lots of teams are going with a speedier yet solid tackling MLB these days - if your D-line and OLBs can control the LOS, you just need a guy who can stick and wrap. Thus, I think Gold\'s injuries are far more of a point against him than his slightly smaller size.

It would be great to get Ian Gold. I believe he could play inside, and then we could worry about getting a weakside linebacker, or maybe a safety in the second round.

I think Gold is a 100% WLB. At 6-0, 220lb soaking wet with full pads, he couldn\'t play inside.`
But he\'d be an ideal LB to back-up or replace Rodgers.
We\'d then draft a SLB like Donterrious Thomas.
Oh Yea..., my adrenaline is pumping now...

Sign Gold, take D.Thomas in the 2nd along with Vilma in the 1st and our LB unit goes from being one of the worst, to the one of the best.
