OLB- big disagreement again. We have two guys who have never played the position and one who has started 2 games in 4 years. I consume as much black n gold koolaid as anyone around here. How anyone can be confident and assured that these three are THE answer I dunno.

No problem with adding guys later. No problem adding Jones early as he brings a dominant history at the position or even ansah if he's there(he won't be) as his size and speed are just freakish. Do not want Jordan or Mingo. They haven't proven jack in the NFL or played the position in college. We have one guy who produced as an undersized speedy DE and one guy who produced as much as possible backing up one of the best in the game. They produced comparable numbers to our the collegiate prospects but at the NFL level . And we have a third who essentially a physical clone of Mingo. I'd be willing to bet that our guys have just as big an impact as the two projects in Mingo and Jordan.

That's just it. It's a bet. We don't know what our guys will do at OLB. We also don't know what our 1st rounder will do at OLB. However, I think it's safe to think that Jones, Mingo, or Jordan are capable of being better players than what we currently have.

I agree they will have a learning curve to figure out but the talents there. Do you think next year is the only year to make a SB run? I don't. I think we have multiple years to win a SB. That's why I view the OLB pick as an investment.
