I don't have any preference however the goal here is to get faster at the position. Noticed how fast the Titans/Niners LB's get to those sidelines.

We need another assassin alongside Demario. Or ... just draft one

Joe Schobert? There’s a good option.

Meh ...

Good tackler but not great in coverage. If we replace Klein, this would be a lateral move IMO.

Saints need guys who can cover (in the playoffs) the sidelines in hurry ... assassins, dawgs like Demario. Anzalone is that dude but you can't rely on him especially considering he makes his living, tackling with the shoulder.

Actually, that's his strength, and he has six (6) Career Int, more than any other LBer except Cory Littleton, who's expected to stay with the Rams...

Like Nick Vigil, but now that Mike Nolan has left, it'd depend on Coach's replacement if they can correct some of Vigil's run-defense skills; but Vigil's strength is as a cover man...

This and the draft thread will be keeping us informed for months. Thanks for sharing.

Anyone on either of these National Championship teams we have a shot at?

Wow...

This is who we should've spent money on...

If we lose AJ to Free Agency ...

Blake Martinez - Packers
DeVontre Campbell - Falcons .. good vs run and solid in coverage.

Blake Martinez, smart LBer (Stanford), thought I read he was trying to stay with the Pack...

I would take Campbell over Martinez. I think he would be a better compliment to Davis.
