And now sir, I understand why you're havin' that feeling again. Last time I picked up one of those jugs, the cork broke off when I tried to get it open. Corkscrews -not for just winos anymore. Cheers!

We added so much depth at Linebacker, but for some reason I still don't trust what we have. If Reuben Foster is there I'm taking him, but I don't think he'll by past Cincinnati after they just released veteran LB Ray Maualuga. So realistically speaking:

Derek Barnett , DE, Tennessee

He reminds me of Will Smith, but possibly with more upside. I'd love for him to be a little faster, but he has great hands at the line. I can't wait to see our front this hear if we add him.

My exact thoughts.

Side note - Marvin Lewis has a history of producing top tier linebackers and I agree as well that I don't think they let Reuben slide to us @ #11.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. A.J. Klein could very well be a diamond in the rough, but I can't say he's a prove commodity. Manti Te'o can't stay healthy and lacks speed, but he does have a high motor and he's great in coverage. Maybe with so much depth we'll see a lot of rotating to make up for the deficiency of each LB. Robertson, Klein, and Te'o could turn out to be a great group though. We'll have to see.

While I am on the three wheeled Klien band wagon I understand the risk with the signing and love the contract. I put a twenty on Klien in Vegas to be the FA steal of the year. yep twenty is as rich as I would go. But he is the #1 signing I am looking forward to seeing the impact he has

To the point I would stress versatility even in the draft for as many picks as possible. Yep I see our defense once again leading the way in 2018 as the side of the ball in the biggest need of talent upgrades no matter how many picks you use on defense.

So all the LB in round 1 are not a needs on my needs list. All the signings and a mid to late round LB that has upside and proven flex is all I would spend at LB this year.

Let see how this LB corp shakes out and address other areas thinner than LB
