Why did we sign 3 depth LBs? Is that better than combining their value and choosing 1 player? I have no insight on these guys at all but I have read that multiple chances are better than 1. Do people agree that this applies in this case?

We always linebacker depth. Davis is out 4 games, aging and is retiring next year. Mayo's contract is coming up iirc and sadly Kuechly's concussions are a bit concerning (3 in 3 years). Shaq will be playing more this year but God forbid any of the above go down next year or simultaneously. I also think those picks are geared more for the future and ST.

Undersized LB with marginal NFL athleticism. We honestly probably could've gotten this guy as a UDFA.

Yup.  And took him in the 5th.  Don’t get me wrong.  I like him. But in the 5th????
