ILB's are bad but the EDGE guys are underwhelming too. 

Upgrades across the board are needed. If Scourton or Umanmielen pan out, fantastic, but it's unwise to assume they will.

Nic is a player for us at strong side end or edge or whatever you want to call it. He’s good at handling blocks and setting the edge, probably best at play recognition right now. He’s got to work on his body and his get off in the offseason to have a rush threat tho. Need a pass rush specialist at that other edge spot for sure.

If you get a chance to upgrade either(or both) EDGE spots, you do so. Doesn't mean Scourton shouldn't get reps, after all we will see plenty of reps from the two deep. We just need to get that front 7 better overall.

You hope our young guys keep getting better and eventually become either very good rotational players or elite guys.

I agree to a point, and I've also said something similar. The thing is though, it's arguable that some other positions are a higher priority, and we just can't be in the business of passing up higher graded players at other positions to fill others, especially when we haven't even given current players the chance to pan out after only a season. I mean, at some point, if our guys show a higher consistency of flashes, you have to let them develop. I'm not averse to drafting an LB (EDGE or tackling machine) first, but they have to be definitely better than others at other positions.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.

      Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
