re: Draft Priorities

Strictly speaking just next year, not his entire outlook as a pro.

He struggled to pick up being an off-ball LB. Never earned any meaningful snaps and couldn’t even beat out Anzalone. For all we know, he could struggle again and spot play again like he did last season. Or hopefully he picks things up a little and has a bigger role. But changing from mostly on-ball to off-ball can be challenging for some guys. We don’t really know since he had a limited offseason but apparently he struggled the rest of the season to pick up more than a handful of snaps a game.

Could take him another year or two before it clicks. I hope it does. I would love for our core LBs of the future to be Zack Baun and Zaven Collins or something like that.
