Quote:The reason I see to replace him is the fact that he is getting slower and shaken up more. He would have been great if he played 20+ years ago when teams mostly ran the ball up the middle. Don't get me wrong though, I still think he's a good LB and captain, but in 2-3 years he will be like Urlacher. If the guy runs straight at him great. Otherwise, he has issues. He actually looks a lot like he'd be great at FB, but that's a demotion and pay cut.

He's not perfect, and obviously has his flaws in coverage, but among our top five needs? Not buying it.

Honorable mention:
G/RT (taking a wait and see approach on the young offensive line. I hope they gel and we don't need to try and find starters... just depth.)

I can't believe no one has said DT/NT, not only could we use an upgrade over Roy Miller who's contract is expiring but after him theres not much depth.

I believe OL has to top this list. We need pass rush, we need a free safety, we need a lot of stuff.. but OL has to top this list. Particularly the interior OL. We can't run the ball for nothing.

I agree with the DT/NT assessment, but I don't see how OL isn't on this list at all. We need upgrades at a few positions there and our franchise QBs potential success is riding on them finding those upgrades in the future.

100% agree. I would love Denzel Perryman in the draft. Has some Bobby Wagner in his play (less athletic, but harder hitter).

Well we're playing 3 true first year players, our RT hasn't played yet and we just signed Beadles (who may be the worst of the five) so we're not gonna give up on him so fast. So while it might be a need, I don't think it's very high on the list of what needs to be addressed.
