Rashaan Evans is the only traditional strong side, his skillset is intriguing as he could also replace Fowler off the EDGE. Play strong side on obvious runs then move to EDGE in nickel and obvious passing downs. Not bad in coverage either.

You also have to consider as far as the LB visits go, most if not all are also good special teamers - meaning they are looking for bubble guys who might make the roster on ST and depth.  The more boxes you check helps you make the team.

We're going to have a very hard time finding a sam from this crop of LBs, that seem to be getting weaker and weaker.  You're not seeing colleges produce the sams the NFL needs any longer.  So, the NFL is having to make due with what's there.

As I've always said about the draft... you can't manufacture players.  You draft the player when available to you, not when it's convenient.  It could be some time before we find a stud sam.  I'd wager our starting sam is already on the roster this season.
