OLBs Beyond the First

Bobby Wagner & Keenan Robinson would be my two targets. Who do y'all like?

I've heard of course about Zach Brown if he falls and Lavonte David mentioned by many here already.

btw...a quick stupid mock scenario I just came up with:

Trade down with whoever for Fletcher Cox and a new second rounder

Draft Mohamed Sanu and Jayron Hosley in the second

Trade up into the 3rd to get Keenan Robinson

DT, WR, CB, OLB...Super Bowl!

IMO Burfict will be a MLB, and he isn't very good in pass coverage.

I am not sure, myself, but this site suggests he might be best at the outside:

"Might be best suited to play outside at the next level where he can have more simplified reads." http://www.fanaticalfootballfiend.com/3/category/burfict%20vontaze64cb9a6ab2/1.html

Also from same page regarding his ability to defend the pass:

"Pass Defense: Agile enough to attack throws in front of him when in zone, can make the big hit which separates the ball from his man. Taken out in nickel packages, though, as he lacks the suddenness to get a deep drop or handle jerk routes of quicker slot receivers. Must read the quarterback's eyes to jump and affect passing lanes if not getting home on the blitz."

I am not sure how accurate this is as I have not watched him extensively.

    • We’re in a pickle.. My best hope is we protect him and can run the ballvs most Ds and the WRs are healthy he has every chance to not look like what he looked like in too many games last year.   
    • I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible. 
    • Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.
