I'm taking the stance that I'm willing to give Lee another year to show he can last an entire year before labeling him as officially injury-prone. I think he possibly arrived in Dallas with various ailments left over from his days at Penn State. The knee thing was but one of them. I'll be holding out hope he'll finish the year in 2015. We'll see.

Because McClain is better in the middle

That's not necessarily true. What's better is having the two of them on the field at the same time. It's not about replacing the MLB or Lee losing his job, it's about the combination.

Lee has the flexibility to move to the WLB, and may actually be better at WLB than he was in the middle. McClain's best position is clearly in the middle and his murderous attitude on the field inspires fear when he's on his game. Add Lee's knowledge, relentlessness and quick ability to diagnose offenses to that and we have one heck of a tandem. These two guys are practically polar opposites personality wise. If they mesh...look out.

That is a good choice probably (I'm not sure how much he's making as a second round pick)... but McClain adds such physicality to the middle of the defense.

Clearly, if I could have either one it would be Wagner, but Rolando does bring some stuff to the table that Wagner doesn't.

M Kendricks from Philly is another just like Wagner and the same goes for him too.

All in all... I'm really looking forward to what Rolando is going to do in the middle this year, with a full offseason under his belt and with Marinelli working with him and Lee.

I'm pumped and it is April. o_O

Kendricks brother can be available in the draft and I've heard we like him, wouldn't mind him has good traits and flies around out there.

I'm sure they will mesh and be trouble for opposing defenses.

Yeah, I've stated several times that I really like Kendricks and would be A-OK with drafting him if that's what the team wants to do.

Top level athleticism.
Top level football IQ.
Top level production.
Top level character.

He is exactly the type of player Garrett and Marinelli both want to bring in to Dallas.
