Another poster commented that the starting LBs are good but depth is needed. Reviewing the roster, it is a unit of no-names who seemed to gel and produce. There does not seem to be a future stud among them though, so the Question is for REV and others with knowledge....

What is coaching/managements view of the LB group? Does a backup unit of Pope, Ciurcuiuiciu, Farwell, Rufus etc have enough talent to make the whole LB roster a strength?

Or is LB a slot to consider in the draft?

Current Unit
SLB Ben Leber/Vinny Ciurciu/David Herron Jr.
MLB E.J. Henderson/Derrick Pope
WLB Chad Greenway/Heath Farwell/Rufus Alexander/Dallas Sartz

We are high on Pope to replace the DT roll. Also, we were very big on Alexander as a speedy back up before he got injured. Ciurciu disappointed last year, but should make a good influence on special teams such as Farwell.

I do not see us considering a LB in the draft. Being that our starters are young and good and the depth works. Getting Pope in FA and getting Alexander back from injury makes the depth ok.

I see us taking a LB in the later rounds. Such as Geno Hayes from Florida St.

J Leman anyone?
