Tough roster decisions ahead.  

But with a lot of other positions in flux with guys we're actively trying to develop (CB, S, DE, TE, even RB) it's hard to imagine we'd keep 7 LBs.   That was one of the positions where our roster was most consistent last year.  We had the same 6 LBs on the roster all 19 weeks. 

Luke, TD, Shaq, AJ Klein, David Mayo, Ben Jacobs.

Even when Luke was injured we didn't bring in another LB.

Obviously the future of AJ Klein (in a contract year) could complicate things, as could wanting to continue to develop OLBs for when TD retires. 

But for this season, while there may be a fight for Ben Jacobs' roster spot, barring injury or something else unforeseen, I don't see us carrying more than 6 LBs.

I have a feeling with us bringing in these LB's we might be shipping out a LB. More than likely AJ and/or Ben...I would say AJ because he is in a contract year; to get something for him before he becomes a FA. I think a 4th rounder would be fair.

LBs make for really ST players.  Who know how they may develop down the road.  But I think it's safe to say we are building up positions where the talent is.  Down the road, LBer won't be a big issue, and we can focus on a RB or some other position.  Who knows, all of these players could fail, but at least Getts is SETTING THE TEAM UP for the sustained success.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      Given the draft makeup after the top-10 or so, I feel many teams are going to be hoping for trade downs. Which makes downward movement a bit more tricky.  So they may just go for the best impact they see fit and surprise.  I mean, can use someone at all levels of our defense (ILB, DE, S and Slot). Offense need more OL bodies and could use another WR. No way we can be zeroed in on a particular position.  Makes me damn curious to our board and how they’re weighing immediate vs long term impact.  I still see multiple guys rather than positions in play. S: Thieneman, McNeil-Warren ILB: Rodriguez, Allen DL: Faulk, McDonald WR/TE: Saddiq, Cooper, Boston, Conception OL: Freeling, Proctor, Lomu, Iheanachor Heck, even the EDGE group in our range is interesting like Parker. - Then there’s these guys that are in that 19/51 fringe range that seem to be really good fits-Haulcy, J Rod, Golday, etc.

      2026 Win predictions from DraftKings

      I guess I could see it if we got breaks, but we got the breaks this year and it was still 8 wins.   Also I dont see TB crumbling, they are a competent franchise that hit the injury bug last year I dont know what to think about NO so theres that. Atlanta majorly upgraded at coach so there is always something to having a competent grown up leading a team.

      Glad he's coming back but honestly surprised. I guess the new staff convinced him there was going to be PT for him. It was baffling how Hubert never played him. Its not like we were a top 10 type team looking like a contender and had it all figured out. We should've been giving him opportunities. There was no reason not to. Utter lack of bench development and hard headedly running his starters into the ground because he was afraid to go to his bench was an knowing issue with Hubert that he just wasn't growing out of with more HC experience. If you don't play them how are they supposed to develop? And his starters could do no wrong. Didn't matter what they did, they wouldn't get yanked and their playing time wouldn't decrease. But if a bench guy came in and made one mistake he was probably getting buried for three or four games. That's a recipe for your starters playing sloppy and your bench playing tight and scared. Saw it year after year.
