So who do you prefer at MLB?

Vilma is a perfect fit for the WLB. Lofton will stay at MLB.

I think Vilma returns by week 4 and plays making our LB corp look like:
SLB Hawthorne
MLB Lofton
WLB Vilma

If that's the choice, I'd got with Lofton, just because Vilma looked slow last season but I don't think that'll be the only options. If Vilma heals up, I think we'll see both Lofton and Vilma in the middle and both of them on the weak side at different times. Just to keep d coordinators guessing.

Just don't forget the fact that Vilma cannot shake a blocker even when healthy. At WLB, at least the blocks will only be coming from one side?

Nope, it's gonna be:
SLB Hawthorne/Vilma
MLB Lofton
and........ wait for it........
WLB Shanle turning down the ProBowl to play in the Superbowl!

In Spags I hope!

Shanle is playing the strongside now. Hawthorne and Casillas are our WLB's. Although I think Hawthorne is probably better suited for SLB

But also keep in mind he was moved to SLB last year, but when Casillas got hurt they moved him back to WLB where he played most of the year.

IMHO I think he's better suited for SLB, but he's still probably just mediocre there too.

Loft on all day everyday, can Vilma move to outside LB would be an improvement if he can pick it up, a little different from Playing MLB

If the conventional wisdom is that JV is 3-4 wks away from starting?
Injuries may dictate the entire LB corps, week to week.

I expect Vilma to suspended again in a week or two, then it's up to the judge again. Who knows how long that'll take...
