During the season we started slow in this area, but were making strides in the right direction once DaVon Hamilton was inserted in the starting lineup. We still weren't great, but we were trending upward. Once Hamilton got hurt, the wheels came completely off and we've been getting torched. When watching Schobert I've been seeing missed tackles, bad angles and sometimes he just genuinely looks lost. While Myles Jack's play has improved significantly since moving outside, I really don't see much difference between Schobert's play at MLB and Myles Jack's play at the same position in 2019.  I was under the impression Schobert was here to help fix the run defense, but Derrick Henry in particular has dropped 299 rushing yards on us in 2 games and there is a good chance Lamar Jackson could set the single game rushing record for a QB against us this weekend.

Realistically, we are stuck with Schobert for at least one more season due to dead money in his contract. Should we use one of our draft picks on a MLB of the future that can potentially take over the starting role in 2022? Unless Schobert really improves his run defense in 2021, I just don't see him being worth what we are paying him.
