There is a glut of available veteran inside linebacker free agents. 

Says alot about how the NFL view this upcoming draft

It could provide good value to get one.

We need two. Most teams are just upgrading or refinancing one.  

This looks good for exactly what I was hoping we could do which is a ready to go vet and draft a guy with maybe even a higher ceiling.

We dont absolutely need 2 but certainly 1. Getting a veteran FA provides real flexibility in the draft.

 

2 if you mean between FA and draft.....then I agree

Yes one from each market. 
edit: Wallace is depth afaic until he proves otherwise. We need two starters.

If we get a FA LB it shouldn't stop us from drafting one high imo.

It should if it allows us to draft a more valued position like OT, Center, pass rusher or DL in my opinion

Id rather Edmunds over old mate from the jags

[BEASTfromdaEAST]

Edmunds, Okereke, Wilson, Ellis, Milano, Anzalone, Lloyd and others would be a complete upgrade compared to what is currently rostered, so if this team doesn't see an immediate upgrade at this POSITION OF NEED early in FA than my faith in DM would be lost.  

I don't think he will disappoint and makes a splash with retooling our LB room and bringing back the glory that is LB play with the Carolina Panthers. 

Cuz GOD DAMNIT do I miss hard hitting LB/Defensive play that made me fall in love with this franchise........

It wasn't long ago people were complaining we put too much emphasis on linebacker. We were spoiled with  Luke and TD and years of solid LB corps. It matters 

[strato]

It is the QB for the defense. People that devalue the position are not doing it right.
