It hurts not having Telvin Smith and Quincy Williams this year. They're playing with guys they just picked up at LB over the last two, three weeks. Add ILB/OLB to the list of needs in 2020's draft.

Think about what you just wrote...Jack, Smith, and Williams all play the same position. If they play Sam or Mike then they are a weakness We have three good Will linebackers (presumably), none of whom can play the middle.

I'm guessing they were counting on Jake Ryan for the Mike backer spot and he had some major setbacks.  I dunno if they will draft a MLB or look for a guy in FA.  If they look to the draft, get a straight dawg like Kenneth Murray.  He wants to hit people.  He has the frame and athleticism to excel on the NFL level.  I'd like to see Jack moved to the Will spot.  The 2nd level of the defense really needs a guy that plays within the rules but plays with a mean streak.
