Linebackers

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

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.

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.

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.

I was gonna post a similar opinion. He might work as a sidekick to a better player. But he is isn’t that player. 
People learn and develop at different paces or rates and he still could drastically improve, but if he is what he has shown so far, nope.

The more I’m watching YT vids of these LBs, two things are coming into focus for me.

1 - Sonny Styles will rip the combine up and crack the top-10….unfortunate that he won’t be a Panther without us moving up. 

2 - Anthony Hill Jr. is LB3 for me and someone I’d like to see in Process Blue. I’ve seen a few UT fans mentioning him in the same breath as a step just below Derrick Johnson. 

I really hope we to LB or Sadiq with our R1 pick.

    • Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
    • Since your being selective (and somewhat deceptive) with your comparisons, I'll throw this up so we can compare apples to apples. Both Young and Shough have played against the Rams. Young went: 15/20 (75%) for 191 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 147.1 QB rating Shough went: 15/24 (62.5%) for 176 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT with a 81.2 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Buccs. Young went: 21/32 (65%) for 206 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs with a 102.5 QB rating Shough went: 13/20 (65%) for 176 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT with a 65.4 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Falcons. Young went: 31/45 (75%) for 448 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 123.2 rating Shough went: 30/43 (69.7%) for 243 yards, 0TD, 1 INT with a 74 QB rating   Seriously, in what world is Shough a better QB.
    • Freddie? For this game? Seriously? I don’t get it. Hope we get the best version of Freddie tonight.
