Linebackers

[Aussie Tank]

Should Trevin Wallace ever start for us again? In my opinion the defense got better through addition by subtraction

He's a great backup...which is hopefully where he'll be in 2026. 

Unfortunately, I think the staff sees more in him than everyone else. Hope I'm wrong and Morgan upgrades the position, but he seems like an Evero guy despite the fact better LBs were on the board including Dan Morgan's clone.

2026 draft will have a lot of solid linebackers. I think one will slide to us. We are sorely missing that star MLB we always had with Morgan, Beason and Luke

He was better this year but it aint enough.

Agree. First round LB, free agent pass rusher, another DT in the later rounds would have this team cooking.

Who was that? I am not seeing great ILB value around the Wallace pick.  We should be able to get one of Sony Styles (OSU), CJ Allen (UGA), or Anthony Hill (UT) with our first pick, with the dream scenario of Arvel Reese somehow dropping to us.   The Giants Raiders tankathon should be interesting to watch. Lose that and the Giants can trade the no. 1 for a ransom.

I think Wallace can be a great “Robin” to someone’s “Batman”. Pair him with Sonny Styles and let Styles wear the dot. I think Wallace can be a great partner, just not the dominant alpha we sorely need.

Payton Wilson. Won the Butkus and the Bednarik. Probably a 1st rounder if not for the medicals, but we didn't want to roll the dice I guess.
