Hypothetical Pick If Not Freeling

Well I am behind the decision, but really liked Lemon’s game. I think we need that element or dimension in the offense.  
 

But really, I was a trade down and still get OT guy. Not trading down might cost us tomorrow. 
 

I needed T to be covered, but I badly wanted ILB. Rodriguez, or Golday preferably. That may not happen now. 

I like our chances of having a good option at LB tonight in the 2nd. Rodriguez, Hill, Allen, and Golday are all still available and I don't see them all going in the first 18 picks tonight.

I think we give up 1 of our 5ths tonight and move up for a LB.

With the moves we made in FA, I'd be very happy with a LB in the 2nd. Plus you'd like to think Dan Morgan (and I'm sure some input from Kuechly) can identify a great LB talent.

You hope. Though I still wonder why we took Wallace over Wilson in 24.

Lemon or Thieneman were just obvious choices there.  I'm all about the trenches, but we already made offseason investments on the line as contingencies to injury issues.  The cold, hard truth is that Freeling doesn't really make the team any better all things being equal, and if so, it's marginal.  There were impact players out there that would have represented bigtime upgrades over the current roster.
