So we now have 3 starting middle line backers. That's good depth(jk) but we need players whose profiles fit inside or outside....weak or strong.

Hawthorne has also started at weak side. Lofton can play all three spots. When in a 3-4 you need two inside LB's anyway with a WOLB which Hawthorne can still handle with Vilma (if still here) and Lofton in the middle.

I'm figuring that Spags feels that Chamberlain can handle the strong side since he's had him in St. Louis.

Hawthorne played some Will in Seattle if I remember correctly, and some of the evaluations I've read on him during the past two weeks stated that he can easily adjust to being a 4-3 OLB.

And they did bring in Chamberlain to give some OLB depth.
