Now we all know that Rolando did wonders for our defense last year. He is that big athletic physical MLB that we need. However, health concerns and the commitment to the game still scares me about him. Regardless if the previous year off was the deciding factor to his injuries we need another smart thumper of a LB that can come in when he cannot be counted on or for any of our other LBs for that matter.
Right now we have 2 players under contract that can go in to the season and start. That is Lee and Hitchens. The others are JAGs. Let's say McClain doesn't sign for what ever reason and we bring back either Bruce or Durant, it will still leave us very thin at LB. It was our strength last season because we had all of these players under contract but I have a feeling we will need to shop around and draft another because some of our guys will want to be paid like a starting LB and move on. And looking at many mock drafts here hardly anyone is drafting a LB when we were so close to drafting 1 each of the previous seasons with our first pick.
So who do we target and what round?
