   ... It's crucial that they either get more out of Jack this year at the Mike position or they add a major upgrade to that position through this draft between a guy like Devin White or possibly Mack Wilson later on in the draft to gain some type of instinctive and natural leadership at that position.

It was Myles Jack's first year playing all three downs at Mike. He struggled with some run fits and gap discipline. Not really a shocker.  They will absolutely give him another year to improve upon that and he deserves it IMO. 

Telvin just played undisciplined football and got punked several times by over-pursuing and biting on run fakes when he should have played coverage. 

They aren't moving those guys this year and they aren't drafting a MLB. If for some reason Jack is hurt or drops off from last year they have Ryan on the roster as a contingency, but I bet you'll find this LB corps to be just fine come September.

(I don't hate or disagree with the concept that mike may not be Jack's best position as a LB, I just think he deserves another shot at playing all three downs there and feel he'll show progress this season. His playmaking ability and impact in several games have earned him that chance.)
