Who are the keepers on defense?

It is possible McClain and Fua can be solid starters in the future. IMHO our biggest question mark right now for the long term is OLB. We were planning on Davis being here for a while, and it doesn't look like that will be the case. Still could use a DT and CB also.

Sherrod Martin, and Captain are the only starters I would like to see replaced. I like Sherrod as a cover safety, but the guy doesn't like contact at all.

Our rookie DT's will be good to go under a NFL weight program, so I'm not worried about them. The only other need on Defense is the Will LB position.

If we can't get Matt Kalil in the draft, I think OLB should be our first pick.

I'd like to move Martin to CB and get a true FS, draft OLB in the first. With Edwards back and a full offseason I think we'd be far better on D then.

Zack Brown from UNC, possibly trade down to get him cause he's projected to be a late-mid first rounder.

He's the guy I want, his value could rise before the draft depending on so many variables and I don't really buy into "reaching" thing.

Yeah he's rated the top OLB, in this year's draft so he could be a top 15 pick, I really like this guy great instincts, and awareness. We can't depend on Davis anymore really sad to see get injured again, but we have to move on.

    • So we cut him if we don't give him the option?  I'm pretty sure there are players who didn't get the 5th-year option that played year four of their rookie contracts with their draft team.
    • I didn't say do nothing if we don't draft one in the 1st and I"m not counting on a FA to magically become a franchise QB. But signing a FA to be our starter for the year and then re-address the next offseason would be FAR better than reaching on the wrong QB in the 1st this offseason. Feeling we HAVE to find our long term solution just because we need a new QB is how we got into this mess.  We thought Two Gloves would be at worst an average level QB for a few years, that didn't happen, so we went out and traded for Darnold.  That didn't work so we went out and traded for Baker, that didn't work so we went out and traded up to get Bryce. Our last 4 QB moves were all trying to force a solution, none of them worked out, and we're still trying to find Cam's replacement all these years later.  We'd just have been better off spending a year or two building up the rest of the team and going year to year on FA QB's while doing so.  I get it, it will be frustrating to deal with, but then when you find that actual long term solution, they plug right into an already built out roster and you're ready to contend immediately.
    • Great win, should be 3-0 but I'll take 2-1. LaMelo is an MVP caliber player, period.   This is looking like an incredible draft so far. Sion James looking like the exact type of role player that all contending teams need to have, absolute steal in the 2nd. Kalk is a work in progress and I question how much upside he has but he's already been a considerable upgrade at C for us compared to the last several years (outside of healthy Mark which of course was rare).   Really seems like new ownership/front office has change the culture here significantly. Every guy looks bought in now.
