Quote:In a very broad sense, I want the LB corps to become the force of the Defense, much like the Patrick Willis - Navarro Bowman 49ers. In order to achieve this, high level talent needs to be added (thanks Captain Obvious) so that means investing a lot of capital at the spot. There are some top flight talents at LB available in the Draft this year, top flight in my opinion anyway. So it would seem that the team is going to have to go LB early in the Draft in order to get one.

 

While I understand that Free Safety is a big point of emphasis for a lot of people, I am of the line of thinking that a big time talent at LB, regardless of which LB spot it is, has a much larger and quicker return than DB. In other words, you get better, faster when you add good talent to LB as opposed to DB.

 

build the front 7 and the backfield will follow its lead.  I want Jack as well and I want a steady supply of Ottos(that can play Leo situationally) every draft.  More speed at LB and a bit of a passrush fix a ton of this defense's issues.


I would move Colvin to FS in base and the slot in nickel with Nick Marshall at FS in nickel (entirely based off us not getting a FS in the draft)  keep Sergio another year incase that plan failed miserably


I would expect more corners to be brought in through the draft and FA, that is where I expect the #2 corner to come from.
