They'll have to do everything they can to ensure Foles is successful and the only way they can pull that off is by trying to build around him like they did with Bortles, Gabbert and Leftwich. 

But I would say they did just okay so far this off season. I wasn't expecting much. Our defense is still mostly intact and 2nd year players like Bryan and Harrison will have to continue to step it up this summer and all year to make it fire on all cylinders. That 7th overall choice is going to be interesting. Because I honestly feel for the first time in a long time it's really not all that easy to predict. 

My dream scenario would be them trading out of that slot with maybe Miami or Atlanta and they still manage to grab a guy like Hockenson at TE, Metcalf at WR or possibly Ford at RT/G. That would be ideal. While picking up maybe another 2nd or 3rd RD pick for this year's draft and/or a combination of picks for next year's draft. Would really like to see Caldwell finesse Mayock a little bit with him being up to bat for the first time with the Raiders. That would be awesome to see on opening night. 

If they can't trade out? Devin White, ILB, LSU. I think he'll be there. If he's there. Take him. He's going to be a good one I think for many years to come. And he's a more natural fit for the position. Put him inside and move Jack back outside. Fine by me.

who you making a backup out of Devin, Jack and Telvin? Telvin was awful last year but hes also played a level we've never seen Jack reach so far in his career, if Telvin rebounds will you just cut him? 

A high draft pick on an off ball Lb would be one of the worst moves we could make in the entire draft

Jack has flashed here and there and is still learning the position. Go back and look at some of his games where he's all over the place. More times than not he's coming up with a FF, a FR or an INT at some point during our best defensive stretches. He can also lay the wood probably better than anybody else on this defense. He had to dial it back since day one because of all of the PF's he was drawing from the zebras. 

White is essentially in that same mold. He just has a bit more naturalness to the position that Jack lacked coming out of UCLA. They could rotate the nickel package personnel depending on the down and distance and the opposing personnel. I don't see where we go wrong here in taking White. And I don't see White as just a "Off Ball" LB. Plenty of his highlights indicate that his 4.4 speed and twitch ability are put to good use and he's plenty capable of getting in between tackles and lineman to knife a RB into the ground or snuff out a mobile QB. 

You take White. Place him inside. Jack slides back to the outside to compliment Smith on the opposite end. We get stronger on 1st and 2nd down's with those three on the field. That 6th or 7th rounder from Wisconsin last year becomes the rotational back-up. But I could see Jack, White and Smith moving in and out of the defense in 3rd and long situations to keep it interesting.
