What is the actual plan at LB?

[phildadon86]

Let me preface this by saying that I LOVED DOWNS.

What I am trying to understand is. What in the actual you know what is the plan at LB?

Now not only will the green dot in this defense be a rookie, a 3rd to 7th rounder rookie is supposed to do that job?

Are they trading into the second for Rodriguez or Hill? Are they hoping that CJ Allens pro day makes him fall to the third? What is the plan? Because unless Downs can play MLB we are in trouble there.

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

Probably trading for Brooks

 

[Reality]

I know its wishful thinking at this point, but if they were drafting a high round player, I would not be upset at getting Anthony Hill Jr.

 

[thunderpimp91]

I’d think they are looking at opportunities to get back into round 2 or will take a deeper look at the trade market.

Still opportunity out there but it would have been so nice if they could have addressed the issue a month ago in FA.

 

[EndGame]

-Trading up to get Rodriguez
-Trading for Brooks
-Signing Bobby Wagner

It's hard to say which one, but it's probably one or a mix of these. I'm mildly freaking out about Dallas' LB room right now. It's rather empty.

 

[maryquality]

I would also like to know the plan....considering our FO did NOT address this position in FA.

A trade for a veteran after draft.

 

[JBS]

The front office doesn’t even know the plan

We should probably figure out what the plan should be and inform the team

 

[75boyz]

There's none unfortunately.
It's all a In Parker We Trust coach 'em up strategy.

What if we traded pickens to Miami for 3 3's. Then trade 2 3s and a 4 to someone for a 2. yes very Madden trading.

 

[John813]

Re-sign Murray and Jaylon Smith

 

[MonsterD]

Dial up Kenneth Murray.

 

[cowboyec]

hopefully cj allen,georgia falls to us in the 3rd round.
thats the plan.
i hope.

 

[kumizi]

This team had a lot of holes. I doubt there is some grand plan to fix all of them in one offseason. They will try. If not, so what? They still sell out all the games. Not like the expectations are high in Dallas.

 

[Whiskey Cowboy]

Wagner is the perfect fit. Provides a cerebral playmaker at the second level to compliment Q Williams and Caleb Downs at the 1st and 3rd levels respectively. I'd like to see a move into the late 2nd if someone falls to fill the other ILB spot. This defense is really coming together, and I'm all for it.

 

[MonsterD]

hopefully cj allen,georgia falls to us in the 3rd round.
thats the plan.
i hope.

He might his lat. agility and COD movement are terrible.

 

[Mikexike]

if they can't get into the 2nd round, they may have a trade in place for brooks from Mia. Hence the business partner in round 1

 

[boysfanindc]

I hope it is trading for Brooks, with what we did round 1, you add Brooks (All-Pro) you have a legit defense.

But I could also seeing us go Wagner which helps but does not turn the dial as much as Brooks.

I think CP is going to have the iLB's have less responsibility in coverage, going to be focused moving down hill. So could get away with a guy like Wagner.

 

[jrumann59]

They will be running a 5-1-5 monster defense...

Truthfully? I think it’s the same plan as last year with receiver. Follow their board and see who falls to them. If no one does they draft someone late and trade for a vet,
