:up: It's just speculation on my part. I think they'll steer from LB in the early rounds given the apparent lack of snaps from an emphasis on the Nickel which will put that Slot CB, or S/LB hybrid on the field for at least 65% of the time (or even a full-time perimeter CB). One could argue the same amount of time will not be available to any other defensive spot at the moment, including DE, so there's added value for the extra nickel position in round one as well.
Oh I sure hope they're not looking at Jabril Peppers as a hybrid S/LB ... because I see him as a massive whiff. He's no LB, and he's not a playmaker as a FS, and he'd at best be our 3rd best SS, which is his natural position. Also, he doesn't score TD's as a special teamer, so he's a downgrade in my mind from Grant and Drake. He's right up there with Obi Melonfonwu and Tyus Bowser as far as overhyped bust potential.
