The LOTTO to me, as described, sounds exactly as the OTTO was described when we had just a SAM.  I think the position is just the same OTTO role with a renewed emphasis on some of the stronger pass rushing attributes the OTTO was supposed to encompass when first introduced.

 

To have Jack playing a LB role with his speed and coverage abilities can be a significant upgrade, and plugs a serious weakness in the defense that opposing offenses (and TEs) have exploited.  I think Cyprien/Sample can handle the SS role and give Jack the ability to become the versatile weapon that he can become behind the front line.
