Lloyd is best at the will  LB.  We need a Mike. iMO

His best season was playing Mike. His first 2 seasons were at Will and that's when he had the reputation of not panning out.

He plays at 250 now. I thought he looked bigger than 230 something

Lloyd and a 2nd rounder who eventually earns the starting spot? Trevin Wallce as depth where he belongs? Middle of the field looking a helluva lot better. 

If we can somewhat get pressure with 4, ohh wee mayne.

good god I still hope we get blake martinez in the 3rd or so and build some quality depth

Good catch.  I read a dated review  (He used to be a hybrid /will) but when I checked the source, 2023).  This is (to me) encouraging because it allows us to go after a player like Golday (Cinn) who can play both, but is known for his WLB play. Harold Perkins is another name. This  is good because I have heard "He was in a contract year" but scheme and position responsibility is very important.  I am more excited about this now--

They are building a very solid team. No more cakewalks when playing the Panthers.

Yep and going back to college he had 8 sacks his last year  to boot. He has a good skillet if played properly!!

We do have two years to get these tackles. I would save room for after we get solid intel on Icky’s prospects. 
In my mind, depending on what falls to us, the guy we take this year, if he isn’t great at LOT,  can pencil into ROT for 2027 if Moton is not in the picture. 
 

And we can take another swing at LOT next year. 

I'd honestly plan for Ekwonu to be a LG moving forward. 

Try to find his replacement asap.
