I know the roster isn't set in stone yet, but LB'r is a giant hole in the roster right now

Demario Davis (11 year starter)
Pete Werner (3 year starter)

Ty Summers (5th year - journeyman)
Zack Baun (4th Year journeyman)
Ryan Connelly (4th Year journeyman)
Andrew Dowell (3 year special teamer)
D'Marco Jackson(2nd year special teamer)
Nephi Sewell (1 year unknown)
Nick Anderson (Rookie UDFA)
Anfernee Oriji (Rookie UDFA)

I don't see 3 clear cut starters in this list much less the 5 or 6 quality roster players that is likely needed.

I got 2 anchors in the defensive middle and a bunch of question marks or special teamers at best.

I expect D'Marco Jackson to take a step forward and be the 3rd or 4th guy with Baun.

Good thing we don't need 3 clear cut starters in the modern NFL

Modern football really only starts 2 linebackers. We have 2 awesome starters. It’s not the best unit in the league depth-wise, but it could be a lot worse.

If only Anal Zone wasn't so fragile he would have been a beautiful ball of destruction

They only play 2 LBs. They’ll sign a proven vet as a 3rd guy. The rest are fine as depth and ST guys

Nitpicky, but shouldn't this really be 2nd year unknown. No idea what he can bring to the table at the position since he was put on IR so early in the preseason. Hell at this point we don't even know what kind of contribution he'll make to STs.

I fully expect us to draft a LB on day 1 or 2 next year.
If we dont, someone with starter quality will be signed.
As far as this year, I could also see us stealing someone from a practice squad on a team with a lot of LB depth.

We playing it a little risky right now.

How can you consider Zach Baun a journeyman when we drafted him? A journeyman is someone who has played for a lot of teams.
