Man if it was just that easy to draft a Ray Lewis linebacker. The guy is a complete scumbag I can’t stand the human. With that said for sure we need one of those badasses in the middle of our defense.I'm not sure that Roberts isn't our hardest hitting LBer. I've seen him totally smash guys into next week. I said who the hell is 44, he just about killed the guy! We need his physicality in there imo until someone else shows that he's the guy. Baker has been up and down this year so we may have to think about a LBer high up in the draft. We need an enforcer type. Let's draft a Ray Lewis type of LBer, there must be a guy out there that could come in and be great for us.
We have some pieces at LBer going forward. I love Van Noy but he's been hurt. Baker has been up and down this year. Roberts can hit hard but may be a liability elsewhere, Grugier-Hill is jag, same with Sam E. and Biegel is on IR. A guy I love is Andrew Van Ginkle, that kid is a keeper with a nose for the ball.
No one would argue that we need upgrade(s) at the position. A couple observations though.TKAllDay, I meant a LBer in the mold of a Ray Lewis. I know that it's very difficult to hit on All Pro LBers but I can't recall the last LBer we drafted in the first round. We need an enforcer at the Mike. In 2014 we drafted Jordan Tripp in the 5th and the year before that we picked Jelani Jenkins in the 4th. Jerome Baker was a 3rd rounder and Ray McMillan was actually a 2 so we did take a couple of swings at Ohio St. LBers. Ray is gone and Baker has been quiet lately. We need to upgrade the talent.
