Saints Options at Linebacker

I'd probably only look at foster and mcclain. Mcclain only if we can structure his contract to protect ourselves. Not so high on the rest. We need linebackers that can cover some ground. No disrespect to Lofton but we don't need a younger version of Lofton. We need athletes and speed at the position. I believe we can find thumper's and run stuffers almost anywhere.

I don't want another LB from Seattle, the scheme makes them successful

Remember how good Hawthorne looked in Seattle.

There was another guy we brought in from Seattle for a couple years too. Can't even remember his name anymore, that's how utterly unremarkable former Seattle LB's have been here.

Well, I'm on record of liking Akeem Ayers and Mason Foster...

So, surprise, guess I'm with Hagan on this topic...

What about last years draft picks? Any left worth keeping?

Use the first first to get Collins. Use the second first rounder on a LB'er and then use our second rounder on a LB'er as well. The talent should be there when we run to the podium.
