Honestly, I have no clue. He was a very good player in college, but it all depends on how/if he heals from the injury. I'd love to think he'd be as good as he was pre-injury, but I don't wanna get my hopes up, only to be let down. I'm praying he is back to 100% by the start of next season. If he does, he'll be a steal. I'd still look to add another ILB though. Personally, I would look to trade Myles Jack in the offseason. If we are keeping the 3-4 defense, Jack just doesn't fit the scheme. He's a 4-3 OLB, through and through.

We are in complete agreement here.

If he could play to pre injury level, he'd be a great bonus, but that possibility would not preclude me from drafting a superior LB if one was on the board.  I have some hope since he played through the injury last year and even participated in some of the minicamps this year.  Hopefully this means his knee/meniscus is not a complete wreck and his prognosis for complete recovery is good.  But there is always the chance he doesn't make a complete recovery, or if he does, Meyer and company could find a way to botch his development wholly independent of his recovery.

If we're running a 3-4, we need quality and quantity at LB.  It seems like we have 1.5 good LBs out of 4, counting Jack as the .5 because he is not a scheme fit, which limits his effectiveness.  This doesn't get into the lack of quality depth.
