This is why I think drafting a linebacker in the first round isn't justified. We need depth, players who can step in if needed, but Lee and Smith should be the starters. If not, then we blew the second-round pick we spent on Smith.
We could draft a linebacker to play on the strong side ahead of Wilson, but a first-rounder would be a huge investment in that position. I'm for drafting several depth LBs in the middle rounds.
As crazy as this sounds......my wanting to draft a linebacker isn't because of Jaylon Smith. Sure there's a uncertainty there but reasoning is more so for Sean Lee. This team shouldn't be reliant on him to play 16 games a year because he won't. So factor in Lee's body and even Jaylon's......linebacker is a high need for me. I'm blindly putting my faith in Jaylon being ready this year. But can I do the same for Sean Lee's health?
